Of the 4,000 Indigenous languages worldwide, one dies every two weeks and Michael Running Wolf, founder of Indigenous AI, says most Native American languages will be lost within the next decade. Running Wolf leads First Languages AI Reality, where he and his team are building speech recognition models for more than 200 endangered Indigenous languages. @NBCNews talked to him, student engineers Kyra Kaya, who is Native Hawaiian, and Madeline Gupta, who is Chippewa, and Lakota artist Suzanne Kite about their AI projects to preserve and restore the languages, stories and culture.
