Description
Book SynopsisAI for Community examines how technology can bridge cultural divides while considering what it means to preserve culture responsibly and human flourishing. It recognizes that not all traditions should be protected without scrutiny, and that AI systems, if not carefully designed, will perpetuate harmful biases.
Authored by a multigenerational, multicultural team, this book presents real-world examples and ethical insights that are timely, actionable, and deeply human-centered. It introduces pioneering projects like the Indigenous Knowledge Graph, which documented ancestral wisdom; Googleâs Project Elevate Black Voices, enhancing speech recognition for AAVE; and Laleh AI, which preserves an Islamic thinkerâs insights posthumously. Initiatives like UNESCOâs work on cultural heritage preservation and NVIDIAâs collaboration with Te Hiku Media to safeguard the MÄori language showcase AIâs vital role in reviving endangered languages.
