Two Guwahati-based NGOs and IIT Bombay’s AI initiative BharatGen have joined hands to include Assamese language in the database of artificial intelligence, an official said on Wednesday.
The three organisations signed an agreement on Tuesday for including two million pages with Assamese content into BharatGen, Assam Jatiya Bidyalay Educational and Socio-Economic Trust secretary Narayan Sharma said in a statement.
“For Assamese, long considered a ‘low-resource’ language in the digital ecosystem, this partnership is historic. With the inclusion of two million Assamese pages into BharatGen, the language has reached this scale of AI readiness for the first time,” he said.
