Wuraola Oyewusi: What Happens When a Language Isn’t Digitized


Listen Later

In this episode, I speak with Wuraola Oyewusi, whose journey spans pharmacy, AI research, and digital education but what makes her work distinct is how she translates complex AI concepts into the Yoruba language, making emerging technologies accessible to audiences often excluded from digital dialogue.

We explore curiosity as a discipline, mastery as a responsibility, and why languages that are not represented digitally risk what she calls a “digital death”.

Key Themes We Explore

  • Why curiosity and mastery are non-negotiable in any field 
  • Teaching AI in Yoruba and why clarity is an act of respect
  • The difference between using AI tools and building AI systems
  • How owning a piece of internet real estate can change your life
  • Why fundamentals matter more than shortcuts in the AI economy

Key Takeaway

Whatever your craft is, you owe it to yourself to understand it deeply.
