The Kọ́lọ́dé Experiment
Blind study comparing English and Yoruba AI reasoning.
Kọ́lọ́dé means "the road has opened" in Yoruba. This experiment asked whether the road opens differently depending on which language you walk it with an AI.
A blind study: the same problems posed in English and Yoruba to the same model. The results were not what I expected.
Does AI think differently in Yoruba?
I asked the same questions in two languages to see if I got different answers. This is what happened.
