Meanwhile, during meeting with BRIN, NAIST discussed how AI could be used for language preservation. Sakti Sakti, Head of Human 'AI Interaction Laboratory NAIST, expressed interest in collaborating with language researchers in Indonesia.

This interest is based on the large number of languages owned by Indonesia, which is 10 percent of the total language in the world. With this amount, Sakti underlined the importance of preserving language in the midst of rapid advances in modern technology.

"Language is not only a means of communication, but also identity and cultural knowledge," said Sakti. He emphasized that if an extinct language, part of the legacy of human knowledge would also be lost.

With this collaboration, BRIN is expected to strengthen its role in language research supported by cutting-edge technology. This is also a contribution in efforts to preserve the language and development of AI ethically.
