problems I want to contribute to in my life

Knowledge equity

Epistemic justice is a philosophical framework of justice related to knowledge. Ideally, everyone should have equal access to knowledge and should be considered a credible knower if they have the capacity to.

While I understand this is a matter of justice and ideal scenario, I sincerely want to work towards such as future, by:

1. Making educational content (e.g. books, videos, audios, images) available in as many languages as possible at low costs and high accuracy, through machine translation, multilingual AI, or future innovations
2. Making prominent sources of knowledge, particularly in knowledge-augmented AI, accessible, truthful, and dynamic
3. Making it easier to correct or update sources of knowledge. Currently, sources such as audios, images, and videos still need a lot of manual editing, fact checking, and review
4. Increasing access to up-to-date information and knowledge, e.g.,
   1. digitizing information,
   2. distilling formal knowledge,
   3. decentralizing education,
   4. open-source,
   5. open access of publications
5. Encouraging more people to use and produce high-quality and diverse content. I hope for universal participation of knowledge production, where everyone could express their knowledge and lived experiences, without unjust distrust or discount of their ideas.
6. Increasing the interests and capacity in lifelong learning

Language, culture, and global citizenship

1. Improving language education, making it more engaging, accessible,
2. Rescuing endangered languages
3. Boosting low-resource languages in research
4. Improving international and intercultural learning experiences (both traditional study exchange and virtual exchange)

Accessibility

1. Assistive technologies, especially speech and vision technologies (e.g., text-to-speech, captioning, video localization)
