Human-centered AI research for education and human development in Africa

Our research explores how human-centred and interdisciplinary AI can strengthen education systems, expand learning opportunities, and support long-term human development across Africa.

We focus on translating rigorous research into practical insights, tools, and capacity that respond to real educational challenges.

How Our Research is Organized

Advancing AI research for education and human development for Africa.

Building Foundational Language Models for Yoruba and Hausa

Develops AI models capable of understanding and translating Yoruba and Hausa languages, two of Africa’s most widely spoken languages, for educational use. The project creates open, high-quality datasets and foundational language models that enhance access to learning materials in local languages, making education more inclusive for low-resource language communities.
