Abstract:
Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way that languages, literatures, and civilizations are created in a time of rapid technological growth. This paper explores the integration of AI in the context of the Hausa language, literature, and culture. Language preservation, intercultural communication, and cultural heritage preservation are just a few of the problems that AI-driven solutions are tackling, according to recent studies. Language barriers are being filled in and cross-lingual understanding is being promoted through AI-powered language models, translation software, and sentiment analysis. With the use of tools for content creation and tailored suggestions, AI is nurturing creativity and safeguarding the tradition of storytelling in Hausa literature. AI also helps to preserve cultural heritage by conserving historical items and facilitating immersive experiences through virtual reality and augmented reality. As AI transforms the Hausa identity, ethical issues and collaboration between technologist, linguists, authors, and cultural expert are essential. The nexus between AI and culture is a prime example of how technology can foster human languages, literatures, and civilizations while advancing them into the digital era. To maintain cultural authenticity and inclusion, recommendations include creating multidisciplinary cooperation, eliminating algorithmic biases, and encouraging responsible AI deployment.
