Communities Lack the Right Digital Infrastructure. Communities are powerful drivers of collaboration, learning, and innovation. Yet most communities today rely on fragmented tools that were not designed for real community building.
Conversations are spread across multiple platforms, valuable insights get buried in chats, and maintaining engagement becomes increasingly difficult as communities grow.
This results in:
Scattered communication across multiple apps
Low and shallow member engagement
Loss of valuable community knowledge
Limited collaboration and global participation
Without purpose-built infrastructure, communities struggle to scale engagement, organize knowledge, and unlock the full value of their members.
The Base intelligent community platform provides an all-in-one digital platform designed specifically for communities to connect, collaborate, and grow in a structured environment.
Instead of relying on multiple disconnected tools, Base brings communication, collaboration, and knowledge sharing into one unified ecosystem. With integrated messaging, voice and video communication, AI-powered tools, and community incentives, Base helps communities move beyond passive interactions to active participation and collaboration.
By providing the infrastructure for intelligent and purpose-driven communities, Base enables organizations and groups to build stronger relationships, preserve collective knowledge, and scale their impact globally.
As AI becomes the backbone of digital communication, education, and technology, millions of people speaking low-resource languages risk being excluded.
Most AI models are trained on a handful of dominant global languages, leaving thousands of local languages without representation.
This creates:
Digital exclusion for speakers of underrepresented languages
Limited AI applications for millions of users worldwide
Loss of cultural and linguistic diversity in the AI era
Without action, the rise of AI could widen the digital divide and leave entire communities behind.
All Voices empowers communities to contribute and preserve their languages by building the datasets that AI needs to understand them.
Through the app, users can:
Submit and review language data to create accurate AI datasets
Collaborate globally with speakers of the same language
Earn recognition and participate through gamified features like leaderboards
Preserve linguistic heritage while making AI more inclusive
By mobilizing communities around their languages, All Voices ensures that AI technologies can serve everyone, not just speakers of dominant languages, helping to create a truly inclusive digital future.

Misinformation spreads rapidly across African information ecosystems, particularly in local languages that are primarily speech and video, under‑resourced, and underserved by existing AI and fact‑checking tools. Some African Languages are widely spoken across radio, social media, and community networks, yet most misinformation detection systems operate only in English, leaving a critical gap in early detection, response, and public trust.
To build and validate a robust, end‑to‑end misinformation detection system that works effectively across 30 African languages, and to establish a replicable technical and data framework that can be extended to other African languages.
This multi-phase initiative will combine data infrastructure, human-in-the-loop verification, and AI models to detect, classify, and surface misinformation in local African languages.
The project integrates:
Community‑sourced text and audio data
Linguistically informed annotation and fact‑checking
AI models adapted to low‑resource language contexts
User‑facing tools for submission, verification, and transparency

As AI continues to reshape global industries, a significant linguistic divide persists. Most AI technical discourse, documentation, and tooling are rooted in non-African languages. The lack of standardized, culturally relevant AI terminology in African languages hinders education, limits the participation of local experts in global AI development, and slows the adoption of AI technologies across the continent. Without a shared technical vocabulary, it is difficult for educators, governments, and developers to bridge the gap between complex AI concepts and local linguistic contexts.
Key barriers include:
Conceptual Barriers: Many AI concepts have no standardized equivalents in African languages.
Limited Access to Knowledge: Technical information is largely available only in global languages.
Misinformation Risks: Lack of trusted, localized explanations fuels misunderstanding.
Data Scarcity: African languages remain severely underrepresented in AI training datasets.
This project aims to build a comprehensive, multi-modal (speech and text) AI terminology/glossary framework for African languages. By leveraging existing research and a collaborative expert-led workflow, we will create a standardized lexicon that serves as a non-commercial artifact for the global research community. The ultimate goal is to develop 1,000 terms across 20 African languages.
By creating a shared AI vocabulary, we will:
Expand AI literacy across African communities
Support inclusive technology development
Enable education and research in local languages
Strengthen Africa’s voice in the global AI ecosystem
This is not just about translation. It is about building the language infrastructure that allows Africa to participate, innovate, and lead in the AI age.

Many languages, especially across Africa and other developing regions, lack the digital resources required to build translation tools, speech models, and AI applications.
This creates several challenges:
Communities cannot easily access information in their native languages
Educational and cultural content remains limited
Developers lack the data needed to build AI tools for these languages
Valuable linguistic heritage risks being left out of the digital future
Without sufficient language resources, millions of people are at risk of being excluded from the benefits of AI and digital technology
Our project brings together volunteers, linguists, researchers, and native speakers from around the world to help build digital resources for low-resource languages. Through community contributions, we collect and create important linguistic datasets such as translations, text corpora, and language annotations that can be used to develop AI tools.
By enabling people to contribute to their own languages, the project helps:
Build datasets needed for AI translation and language models
Preserve and digitize linguistic knowledge and cultural heritage
Enable communities to access information in their native languages
Ensure that emerging technologies serve diverse languages and cultures
Together, we are creating the foundational language infrastructure needed for an inclusive AI future, one where every voice can be heard.
