A new essay proposes "World Wide Models" as a framework for developing culturally literate AI, drawing on literary analysis and world literature approaches. The paper argues that current large language models (LLMs) represent a massive, automated, and largely monolingual form of cultural encounter. It suggests that by integrating comparative reading, narratological analysis, and critical theory, AI development can move towards more nuanced textual models and pluralistic interpretations, addressing issues like structural monolingualism and global AI textuality.
