Emmanuel Gabriel, a Nigerian ICT expert based in Germany, has developed a global artificial intelligence (AI) platform called OBTranslate, an online common administration Tool (CAT) for machine learning, capable of translating 2000 African languages.
Gabriel hopes OBTranslate will break communication barriers in Africa by helping farmers sell their goods and services in any language, and increase employment opportunities.
