A Zambian Dialogue: Mapping AI in our Local Languages

​Join BongoHive, the Ubuntu AI community, DataForChange and the University of Zambia for a pivotal AI for Local Languages Meetup & Workshop. This event aims to unlock the potential of Zambia's 72 languages in the age of AI, fostering digital inclusion, economic growth, and cultural preservation. With African languages significantly underrepresented in AI, it's time to act.

​We invite linguists, researchers, AI developers, students, academics, policymakers, and cultural institutions—anyone passionate about AI and Zambian languages. Come map ongoing efforts, discuss challenges, and build a collaborative ecosystem to ensure Zambia’s linguistic heritage thrives in its digital future.
