Kyrgyzstan Launches First National AI Platform in Kyrgyz Language

The State Commission on the State Language under the President of the Kyrgyz Republic announced the launch of the first national digital platform in the Kyrgyz language, which operates using artificial intelligence principles.

The platform, called «Aitil», is already available to the public at www.aitil.kg . It was developed with the aim of promoting the Kyrgyz language in the digital space and integrating it into modern technologies, The Caspian Post reports citing 24.kg.

According to the developers, «Aitil» is the first AI product in the Kyrgyz language capable of performing a wide range of tasks:

- Converting Kyrgyz text into audio format;

- Speech recognition and voice-to-text transcription;

- Use of an intelligent chat assistant;

- Translation from Kyrgyz into 10 world languages and vice versa;

- Automatically translating YouTube videos into Kyrgyz;

- Extracting Kyrgyz text from PDF documents and images.

"Today we can confidently say that this is one of the most important steps towards digitalization of the Kyrgyz language. We have long been waiting for the launch of such a platform. We are confident that «Aitil» will become a powerful tool for the development, dissemination and use of the Kyrgyz language in modern conditions," the State Commission said in the statement.

The developers emphasize that the product is in the self-learning stage, so individual errors or inaccuracies are possible. In addition, under high load, the system may work slower.

The platform was created within the framework of the state program to support and develop the Kyrgyz language with a focus on digital and linguistic technologies.
