    AI and the Future of Identity - Episode 3: Can AI Save Dying Languages or Erase Cultural Identity Forever? The Truth About Digital Preservation

    Episode 3: Culture vs. Code – Can AI Save Languages or Erase Identity? Every two weeks, a human language disappears forever. With 40% of the world's 7,000 languages endangered, we're facing a linguistic extinction crisis—and AI might be both the problem and the solution. In this episode, Dr. JR talks with fictional expert Dr. Samantha Chen about the intersection of artificial intelligence and cultural preservation. We explore how tech giants like Google and Microsoft are racing to document endangered languages, why indigenous communities are demanding data sovereignty, and whether digital preservation actually saves culture or just creates sophisticated museums. Topics Covered: The global language extinction crisis (90% could disappear by 2100)Google's Universal Speech Model covering 1,000+ languagesMicrosoft's AI for Indigenous Languages programMāori community's Kaitiakitanga License for data sovereigntyDigital colonization vs. ethical AI developmentCommunity-led initiatives in New Zealand, Canada, and AustraliaThe paradox: AI as both cultural threat and preservation toolData trusts and indigenous data governance frameworks (OCAP principles)Why language survival requires human commitment, not just algorithmsFeatured Perspectives: Sundar Pichai (Google CEO) on universal language accessDr. Ruha Benjamin (Princeton) on technology and social hierarchiesReal examples: Wikitongues, Te Hiku Media, First Nations Technology CouncilComing Next Week: Neural implants, brain-computer interfaces, and the ultimate identity question: Where does human end and machine begin?
