The objective of this study was to explore the use of AI tools in the preservation of the Izon language group, the research focuses on the impact of AI tools in language preservation, the challenges encountered, and the opportunities it presents for Izon language revitalization efforts. The preservation of the Izon language is of utmost importance due to the imminent threat of language loss brought about by globalization and modernization. This paper strongly supports using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in this effort, highlighting the essential role that AI technologies like natural language processing, machine learning, and speech recognition can play in establishing digital archives, creating language learning apps, and enabling language translation. It is crucial to harness AI tools to document, revive, and pass on the Izon language to future generations, making a significant contribution to preserving cultural heritage and linguistic diversity. AI holds substantial potential to support preserving and revitalizing the Izon language through tailored learning tools, enhanced accessibility, and community engagement. Challenges may include but are not limited to technical barriers, cultural and social barriers, and financial and resource constraints.
The use of Artificial Intelligence in the preservation and promotion of the Izon language and culture serves as a bridge between the Izon language and technological innovations
indigenous to its people. Artificial intelligence (AI) in this digital age has enormous potential,
it is a commonly used term, but its enormous potential is yet to be harnessed to its limit. AI
can aid in creating language tools using generative AI tools to develop applications that
illustrate culturally unique expressions and representations. Settings, including clothing, food,
and decorations specific to Izon culture can be introduced. These interactive images can spark
curiosity, prompting native speakers to be interested in the new elements they see. Exposing
them to stories, fables, and other artistic expressions can deepen their understanding and
appreciation of the Izon language.
