/ The Ifa Project
The Ifa project seeks to uncover links between AI and the mathematical probabilities inherent in Ifa divination, exploring potential intersections in pattern recognition and decision-making, bridging ancient wisdom with modern technology.
The Ifa project is a fascinating endeavor that seeks to draw connections between artificial intelligence (AI) and the intricate mathematical probabilities inherent in Ifa divination, a traditional African spiritual and religious practice. Ifa divination, predominantly practiced among the Yoruba people of West Africa, is a system of predicting the future and seeking guidance from deities and spirits through the casting of sacred divination tools and interpreting the patterns they create.
At its core, Ifa divination relies on complex mathematical calculations and probabilities. Practitioners interpret the patterns and arrangements of divination signs and symbols to provide guidance and insights into various aspects of life, including personal matters, social issues, and even broader community decisions. These interpretations are based on a vast body of knowledge and a system of intricate rules that have been passed down through generations.
The Ifa project’s objective is to explore how the principles and methodologies underpinning Ifa divination can be paralleled with AI concepts. This involves delving into the mathematical foundations of both Ifa divination and AI algorithms, identifying potential intersections in probabilistic reasoning, pattern recognition, and decision-making. By doing so, the project aims to shed light on the potential value that traditional knowledge systems can bring to contemporary AI research and development.
The exploration of these parallels between AI and Ifa divination not only enriches our understanding of traditional practices but also offers an opportunity to harness the wisdom embedded in these ancient traditions to enhance the capabilities and ethical considerations of artificial intelligence. In essence, the Ifa project serves as a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern technology, fostering a deeper appreciation of the mathematical intricacies that underlie both Ifa divination and AI, with the potential to influence the future of AI research and development.
/ The Yoruba Large Language Model
The Yoruba Large Language Model (LLM) project by the ACAI aims to create original language models from a vast array of Yoruba content, spanning folklore, music, arts, and more, to explore AI’s potential in understanding and generating patterns within the Yoruba language.
The Yoruba Large Language Model (LLM) project by the ACAI is akin to English-based LLMs, aspiring to build original language models from a vast repository of 100 million articles, literature, and transcribed content encompassing Yoruba folklore, music, arts, books, and diverse non-text sources spanning ancient to contemporary times. This initiative seeks to explore how AI can discern and generate patterns within the Yoruba language, offering a unique perspective to celebrate the richness and ingenuity of this language through artificial intelligence.
