At the All Lab, we’re creating a roadmap of technologies and resources to integrate African languages into AI systems by advancing AI and NLP through cutting edge research, model development, dataset building, and nurturing local expertise.
Africa is home to over 2,000 languages, accounting for one-third of the world's total languages. Despite their vast cultural and linguistic significance, African languages remain largely underrepresented in modern technology, from messaging apps to AI systems.
This digital divide leaves millions of speakers without access to essential tools, services, and resources in their native languages.
At the African Languages Lab, we’re advancing NLP for African languages. By building the largest multimodal dataset, creating specialized models and translation systems, and supporting emerging researchers, we’re making African languages central to global AI — driving preservation, inclusion, and opportunity.
Our data pipeline is designed to ensure the efficient collection, processing, and deployment of high-quality linguistic data for African languages. By leveraging advanced tools and methodologies, we gather multimodal datasets through our crowdsourcing platform and meticulously refine them for AI training.
This pipeline enables us to build robust, scalable models that address the unique challenges of low-resource languages, ensuring accurate, high-performance solutions for a wide range of applications."
