From text-generating ChatGPT to voice-activated Siri, artificial intelligence-powered tools are designed to aid our everyday life — as long as you speak a language they support. These technologies are out of reach for billions of people who don't use English, French, Spanish or other mainstream languages, but researchers in Africa are looking to change that. In a study published August 11 in the journal Patterns, scientists draw a roadmap to develop better AI-driven tools for African languages. "It doesn't make sense to me that there are limited AI tools for African languages," says first author and AI researcher Kathleen Siminyu of the Masakhane Research Foundation, a grassroots network of African scientists who aim to spur accessible AI tools for those who speak African languages.

Just like any other trees, mangroves play a vital role in the well-being of nature. However, they also share the same fate as the trees that are found on land for they are also disappearing rapidly due to land conversion, pollution, and overexploitation. As we turn off our lights this Earth Hour, let us also be reminded why we should protect our mangroves as we also protect the other trees. Most Important Carbon Sinks on the Planet Mangroves have the capacity to absorb and store carbon dioxide, thus effectively stopping greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere, making these instrumental in mitigating the effects of climate change.

Kyoto, Japan -- Does hot water freeze faster than cold water? Aristotle may have been the first to tackle this question that later became known as the Mpemba effect. This phenomenon originally referred to the non-monotonic initial temperature dependence of the freezing start time, but it has been observed in various systems -- including colloids -- and has also become known as a mysterious relaxation phenomenon that depends on initial conditions. However, very few have previously investigated the effect in quantum systems.
