OpenAI and Meta Platforms Inc. will begin training artificial intelligence
programs on African languages, addressing a shortage of models for the
continent’s thousands of dialects.

The project, which also involves French telecommunications operator Orange SA,
will start during the first half of next year, the companies said in a statement
on Tuesday. Initially, the companies will focus on two West African languages,
Wolof and Pulaar, which are spoken by 22 million people in the region.
