AI for Indigenous Languages: Preserving Culture through Technology
Indigenous researchers are leveraging AI to create speech recognition models for over 200 endangered languages in North America. Programs like Tech Natives and IndigiGenius are giving Native scientists the tools to protect cultural data while ensuring ethical use. By empowering Indigenous communities with tech, initiatives like First Languages AI Reality are not only preserving languages but also increasing Indigenous representation in the tech world.
