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.
