KalenjinAI, developed by Cyprian Kiplangat, responds to one of the major challenges in the rapidly growing artificial intelligence ecosystem-the limited representation of indigenous African languages in digital technologies.
The innovation applies artificial intelligence and language technologies to the Kalenjin language, developing tools and research across speech technologies, translation, education and access to digital information. Its development demonstrates that emerging technologies can be designed around African languages, cultures and local contexts rather than leaving them behind in the digital transformation.

The journey of KalenjinAI is particularly significant because it brings together technology, language and cultural preservation. It demonstrates the potential of young African innovators to contribute to more inclusive AI while promoting the digital presence of indigenous languages.
