Our vision is to use AI as a force for cultural preservation, with a commitment to safeguarding Ghanaian languages and other low-resource languages from extinction, while promoting their use and development in modern contexts.

Our mission is to revitalize and preserve low-resource languages, with a focus on Ghanaian languages, through innovative AI-driven solutions, thus, harnessing the power of AI to protect and revitalize endangered languages, ensuring they are not lost to future generations.

Purpose

We create AI tools that enable the documentation, translation, and revitalization of low-resource languages, ensuring they remain vibrant and accessible for future generations. We develop advanced AI models tailored to the unique structures and subtleness of low-resource languages, ensuring that they are preserved and can thrive in the digital age.

We treat cultural heritage as a valuable dataset. We prioritize the collection and analysis of linguistic and cultural data, treating it as a cornerstone of our AI research and development efforts to create more accurate and culturally sensitive models. By leveraging AI, we document, analyse, and enrich linguistic and cultural data, feeding these insights back into our models to continuously improve our solutions.

We believe that collaboration is key to ensuring the authenticity and relevance of our AI systems. Thus, our work is rooted in collaboration with local communities, and is informed by deep partnerships with native speakers, linguists, cultural custodians, and experts who guide our development process, ensuring authenticity and respect for the languages we work with; and ensure that our AI systems reflect the rich diversity of the languages we aim to preserve.

Language preservation is a global challenge. We seek to work alongside governments, educational institutions, religious bodies and other non-profits, and tech companies to create a network of support for language revitalization efforts worldwide and to scale our impact. Moreover, we advocate for the importance of linguistic diversity in the global community using social media. We work to ensure that language preservation is recognized as a critical issue and that our efforts contribute to a more inclusive technological landscape.
