Google says it has expanded language support for its Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered search features to include Yorùbá and Hausa Languages in Nigeria.
The Communications and Public Affairs Manager, West Africa, Google, Taiwo Kola-Ogunlade, said this in a statement on Thursday.
He said the update allowed speakers of the two Nigerian languages to access AI powered search experiences in their mother tongue for quick summaries and conversational exploration.
The manager noted that the expansion formed part of Google’s broader effort to make AI more inclusive across Africa.
He explained that the development brought the number of supported African languages in the company’s AI Search features to 13.
Kola-Ogunlade said the update would enable more Nigerians to interact with S <span;>search in familiar languages while seeking information online.
He added that the development meant that a student in Kano could ask questions in Hausa, while a trader in Ibadan could seek advice in Yorùbá.
Kola-Ogunlade added that the expansion would allow users to ask complex questions in their preferred language through text or voice while exploring the web more naturally.
