It's hard to think of current technologies or innovations that do not resort to Language Models (LM) or Natural Language Processing (NLP). Their presence in various society domains - some with significant relevance, like the legal or healthcare sectors - raise issues (and concerns) that often end up focusing on the same question: are LM-based technologies reaching all communities? Recently, two scientific papers featuring INESC TEC - both accepted at AAAI, an A* conference - sought to address some of the challenges in this new era, which directly influence the Portuguese language.
