Brief news summary

A start-up in Mali called RobotsMali is using artificial intelligence (AI) to create children's books in local languages, including Bambara, amid growing tensions between Mali and France. The political shift in Mali towards elevating native languages has created more support for initiatives like RobotsMali. The company generates, translates, and illustrates stories using AI. It puts prompts into AI systems and eliminates irrelevant examples to create culturally relevant stories for Malian children. RobotsMali's efforts have been successful, with previously illiterate students becoming able to read at a basic level after participating in the program. The use of AI in education has the potential to democratize access to education in Africa.

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) to create children's books in Mali's local languages, particularly Bambara, has gained momentum. This development comes as political tensions between Mali and France have led to the replacement of French with Bambara and other native languages as the country's "official" language. Start-up RobotsMali has used AI to generate more than 140 books in Bambara, incorporating local culture and reflecting the lives of regular Malians.

The process involves using AI platforms like Google Translate and ChatGPT to translate and illustrate the stories. The initiative has shown promising results, with students, some of whom had dropped out of public school or never attended one, successfully learning to read Bambara through the program. The project aims to democratize access to education while preserving and developing the local languages of Mali.
