There are obvious benefits to integrating generative AI (artificial intelligence) into language learning and teaching. Those include using AI as a language tutor, creating learning materials, or assessing learner output. However, due to how AI systems under-stand human language, based on a mathematical model using statistical probability, they lack the lived experience to be able to use language with the same social aware-ness as humans. Additionally, there are built-in linguistic and cultural biases based on their training data which is mostly in English and predominantly from Western sources. Those facts limit AI suitability for some language learning interactions. Stud-ies have clearly shown that systems such as ChatGPT often do not produce language that is pragmatically appropriate. The lack of linguistic and cultural authenticity has important implications for how AI is integrated into second language acquisition as well as in instruction targeting development of intercultural communication compe-tence.

翻译：将生成式人工智能（AI）融入语言学习与教学具有显著优势。这些优势包括将AI用作语言导师、创建学习材料或评估学习者输出。然而，由于AI系统基于统计概率的数学模型来理解人类语言，其缺乏生活经验，无法像人类一样具备相同的社会意识来使用语言。此外，基于其训练数据（主要为英语且主要源自西方），AI存在固有的语言与文化偏见。这些事实限制了AI在某些语言学习互动中的适用性。研究已明确表明，诸如ChatGPT等系统通常无法生成语用恰当的语言。语言与文化真实性的缺失，对于AI如何融入第二语言习得以及旨在培养跨文化交际能力的教学具有重要影响。
