"Wikang Filipino at AI: Kasangkapan sa Pananaliksik at Tulay sa Yaman ng Impormasyon"

Sa unang pagkakataon, ginawang sentrong tema ng Buwan ng Wika ang artificial intelligence—hindi bilang isang banta sa wikang Filipino at sa mga katutubong wika ng bansa, kundi bilang isang kasangkapan upang paunlarin ang mga ito (KWF, 2026).

Marahil, sa patuloy na pag-usbong ng teknolohiya, layunin nitong ipamahagi kung paano magsisilbing tulay ang AI upang isalin, ipanatili, at ipamahagi sa iba't ibang rehiyon at wika ang mga katutubong wika na ating ninanais na linangin at lalo pang payabungin sa bawat taunang selebrasyon.

Bukod pa rito, nagsisilbing paalala ang tema sa kahalagahan ng balanse at tamang paggamit nito, hindi bilang kapalit ng tunay na pag-unawa, hindi lamang sa wika kundi maging sa mga ninanais pa nating isulong sa lipunan. Sa halip, magsilbi itong kasangkapan sa pananaliksik tungo sa isang mas makatarungan, maunlad, at mapagmalasakit na lipunan para sa ating mga Pilipino.

Sa paggamit ng AI bilang kasangkapan hinggil sa paglinang ng wikang Filipino, gugulin sana natin ito sa mga gawaing may kabuluhan—sa bawat pagkakataong magsilbi itong tulay upang payabungin ang ating kaalaman at maisakatuparan ito sa mga komunidad na humubog sa atin.

Maligayang Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa!
