Abstract:

The increasing use of generative AI in education highlights its potential for enriching learning experiences. One application for utilising the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as the Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) is the creation of writing support tools. In particular, tools that can work in partnership with humans to co-write with AI hold great promise and have been tested out for English language writing. However, the adaptation of such tools to languages other than English is limited, presenting a disadvantage for learners from linguistically diverse backgrounds. In the current study, we extend previous works in English to develop a writing aid prototype for the low-resource Indian regional language Tamil for co-writing with AI called Tamil Co-Writer. The tool additionally provides a visual summary of user interaction and co-authorship metrics for each writing session for users to reflect on their usage of AI in their own writing. We posit that such interactive tools using the latest generative AI technologies can help writers improve their writing skills and productivity in their own regional languages supporting inclusive AI for education.
