Awarri, a little-known AI startup that launched its AI research lab just last year, has been selected by the Nigerian government to develop the country's first government-backed large language model (LLM). The initiative aims to boost the representation of Nigerian languages in artificial intelligence. The LLM will be trained in five low-resource languages and accented English. Awarri's partnership with the government and other organizations is expected to enhance the inclusion of local languages in AI applications. However, experts are divided on Awarri’s suitability to lead the project, raising questions about data ownership.
