Building AI Data Infrastructure for African Languages: Challenges and Opportunities

Prince Onyeji — LEANGOOGS AI  ·  May 2026

This paper examines the current state of AI data infrastructure for African languages, with a focus on Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa and Nigerian Pidgin. We outline the key challenges — data scarcity, dialect variation, code-switching — and propose a practical framework for building high-quality labeled datasets at scale.
