EnglishWhat languages are available for the Cartography of Generative AI PDF?
Updated
The Cartography of Generative AI is available as a downloadable PDF in ten languages: English, Catalan, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Basque, Swedish, Portuguese, and Chinese. Each language version appears as a separate PDF link on the site, and the PDF is the main content format — the page itself presents the project through these downloadable documents rather than as a long-form web article.

How the PDFs are presented
The language options are listed together as a row of PDF links, each labeled with the language name followed by "pdf." Selecting one opens or downloads that language edition of the cartography. Because the page evidence shows only these PDF links and no separate long-form HTML body text, the PDFs are the primary way the material is delivered.
What the PDF contains
The document maps how generative AI connects to human activities and territories. Its opening sections explain that:
- Generative AI tools automate tasks such as writing or generating images, and they do so by learning from examples rather than by being programmed with explicit steps.
- These tools "disassemble language (visual, textual) to reassemble it based on the calculation of probabilities," using statistical networks trained on recurring patterns in data.
- Training datasets are compiled industrially by scraping content from the internet, the largest existing digital archive.
- The original motivation for this extraction was scholarly and non-commercial research, not today's commercial exploitation by start-ups and platforms — which the document frames as a source of paradoxes and controversies within cultural industries.
Choosing a language
Pick the version you can read most comfortably, since the content is identical across editions and only the language differs. If you need to cite or quote the project, the English PDF is the safest choice for matching widely used terminology; if you are sharing it with a specific audience, use that audience's language edition.
