Orange is collaborating with OpenAI and Meta to create custom AI models that can understand West African languages like Wolof and Pulaar, which are not recognized by most conversational systems. The first models are expected to be rolled out in early 2025.
Orange is working with OpenAI and Meta to build custom AI models that can understand West African languages not understood by most conversational systems .
Currently, much of the data major AI companies train their algorithms on originates in the United States, which means their models can lose important context, such as culture and language, when it comes to different regions like Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Wolof is a language spoken in Senegal, the Gambia and southern Mauritania, while Pulaar is mostly spoken in Senegal.
Major large language models like OpenAI's GPT, Meta's Llama and Anthropic's Claude aren't well suited to Africans' needs as they weren't trained specifically on data originating from the region, according to Orange's AI chief.
