⭐️ Introducing Dataset.ET

The future of AI should speak Ethiopian languages.

Today we are launching Dataset.ET — an open community initiative to build the largest dataset for Ethiopian languages.

Why this matters:
Most AI systems today barely understand Amharic, Afaan Oromo, Tigrinya, Somali, and many other Ethiopian languages. Without datasets, AI will ignore our languages.

Dataset.ET is changing that.

What we are building:
• Speech datasets
• Text datasets
• Community-validated language corpora
• Open infrastructure for Ethiopian AI

How you can help:
1️⃣ Record sentences using our Telegram bot
2️⃣ Validate recordings from other contributors
3️⃣ Help expand datasets for Ethiopian languages

No technical skills needed — just your voice and your language.

Together we can teach AI to understand Ethiopia.

📢 Community leaders & channel admins:

If you run a Telegram group or community and believe Ethiopian languages should be part of the future of AI, we would really appreciate it if you could share this post with your community.

Your support can help thousands of people contribute their language and voice to this initiative. Thank you!
