Saving languages from digital extinction

SILICON is Stanford University's initiative dedicated to preserving thousands of digitally disadvantaged languages from extinction. As technology advances and artificial intelligence becomes more prevalent, many languages—especially those with fewer resources—risk being excluded from the digital age. SILICON bridges the digital divide by enabling speakers of lower-resourced languages to engage in online spaces. The initiative addresses the critical implications of linguistic diversity for global health, education, and human rights. Through collaborative efforts, SILICON connects language communities with tech leaders and international organizations. This initiative aims to ensure that every language has a meaningful role in the digital world. MB01NXFXEQCCS2N
