Building a More Inclusive AI: How the Context Creator Platform is Revolutionising Cultural Knowledge Preservation
The stark reality is sobering: only 3.8% of Twitter data used for Natural Language Processing research comes from Africa, and UNESCO reports that 2,680 Indigenous languages lack digital representation. This gap isn’t just about missing data—it’s about missing perspectives, stories, and knowledge systems that could enrich our global understanding and improve AI capabilities.
Enter the Context Creator platform, a groundbreaking initiative that aims to democratise knowledge collection and preservation through community-driven collaboration. Think of it as the “OpenStreetMap of cultural knowledge”—but instead of mapping physical locations, it maps human experience and wisdom.

How Context Creator Works
The platform operates on four key principles:
1. Inclusive Data Collection: Prioritising underrepresented contexts, including Indigenous knowledge, regional histories, and non-Western cultural narratives.
2. Community Validation: Implementing a Wikipedia-style editing system with cultural safeguards, where content is verified through community voting and peer reviews.
3. AI-Powered Organisation: Utilising machine learning with culturally aware tagging systems that can distinguish between different types of knowledge (e.g., oral traditions versus documented history).
4. Universal Accessibility: Offering multilingual support and adaptive interfaces designed for regions with limited internet connectivity.
Technical Implementation
The platform’s architecture incorporates several innovative features:
– Blockchain integration for transparent contribution tracking
– Traditional Knowledge Licenses ensuring community governance of data
– Cultural competency assessment systems for validators
– AI-assisted content moderation using hybrid human-machine validation
