A language needs infrastructure
Leemer Labs’ published essay considers what it takes for Irish to have a meaningful place in AI. The central question extends beyond a single conversational demo: what foundations allow people to build, evaluate and maintain useful tools in the language?
The article foregrounds licensed data, evaluation by fluent speakers, open models and durable institutions. These are connected concerns. A model is only as useful as the evidence available about its behaviour, and a dataset needs a clear account of where its material comes from and how it can be used.
