What this actually involves

Models trained on scraped western data perform badly on Ugandan inputs, and the organisations that know this are willing to pay for properly sourced local data. We collect to specification: photographs of specified subjects, speech recordings in named languages, labelled text. Every contributor signs a consent form that states exactly what the data will be used for, and we keep that consent record for the life of the licence. We do not sell anything we cannot show consent for.

What you receive

  • Data delivered to your schema, with a written collection protocol
  • A signed consent record for every contributor
  • Chain of custody from collection through delivery
  • Quality assurance pass with a documented rejection rate

Who commissions this

  • AI labs building models that need African-language and African-context data
  • Universities and research groups
  • Localisation and speech technology companies
  • Anyone who needs the licence position to be defensible
