Spoiler alert:
No, AI hasnāt mastered Maltese just yet š²š¹š¤·āāļø
There simply isnāt enough good-quality data.
Thatās exactly what Iona Douglas from Verbivore and Simon Agius Muscat from VuÄi are working to change.
Iona is tackling it from the language-learning side, making Maltese more accessible through better digital tools.
Simon is working on the data itself, building better Maltese speech resources so AI can actually understand and process the language properly.

Huge thanks to Iona and Simon for joining us.
