Nigeria's Blockchain Industry Coordinating Committee Chairman, Lucky Uwakwe, is advocating for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain to preserve African languages at risk of extinction. Uwakwe highlighted the urgent need to protect these languages, citing the example of languages in Plateau State, Nigeria, where communities have been displaced, leading to language decline. By integrating blockchain with AI, communities can be incentivized to document their native languages, earning tokens in the process. These data sets can then be used to train AI models to understand and support these languages.
