ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN PROMOTING HAUSA CULTURE, LITERATURE, AND TRANSLATION

Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents a powerful opportunity for preserving and promoting Hausa culture, language, and literature. This paper explores AI's role in safeguarding and promoting Hausa heritage through machine translation, speech recognition, and AI-generated content. It reviews the current state of AI applications for Hausa, addressing challenges such as limited datasets and the effectiveness of existing tools. The study proposes several AI-driven approaches for enhancing Hausa culture, including translation, content generation, cultural archiving, language learning, and sentiment analysis. It highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and ethical considerations in developing culturally sensitive AI solutions. Future directions focus on creating representative datasets, developing tailored tools, and fostering partnerships to ensure AI's positive impact on Hausa cultural preservation.
