In this episode, host Bidemi Ologundeexplores a timely question for Yoruba language and culture in the digital age: can artificial intelligence truly preserve òwe, or can it only imitate their form? What happens when proverbs are separated from elders, tone, context, and lived experience? Can technology help Yoruba thrive in diaspora homes, classrooms, and online spaces, or does something vital get lost in the process? Bidemi reflects on language, memory, wisdom, and what it will take to preserve Yoruba with integrity in a rapidly changing world.
