Want AI that truly understands your country's culture? Public institutions are sitting on the next AI revolution - and here's the practical guide to unlock it. I've had fascinating conversations recently about sovereign AI, with people trying to solve this recurring question: "How do we build AI that truly understands our culture?" This guide by @evijit and @yjernite brings lots of insights about this question. It's not just about throwing data at models. It's about partnering cultural expertise with tech infrastructure in ways we're just starting to figure out. An example? The National Library of Norway already has 150+ AI models on Hugging Face. They're not just digitizing books - they're building AI that thinks in Norwegian, understands Norwegian values, and serves Norwegian citizens. This is sovereign AI in practice: technology that understands your culture, values, and languages. Especially loved the practical examples on how to do this: - Real examples from museums, libraries, and government agencies - How to convert complex documents (PDFs, PowerPoints) into ML-ready formats - Code templates for processing public data - Technical recipes for sharing datasets on open platforms The stakes? Citizens' ability to leverage their collective digital intelligence. The technology is ready. The infrastructure exists. The guide shows exactly how to use it. What's needed is your cultural expertise to shape these tools. Check it out: https://huggingface.co/blog/evijit/public-org-data-ai P.s.: Building cool projects in a public institution? Share them in the comments for others to learn from!
