Replace teachers with "text to voice" and "machine vision" technology in badiyo?

You'll have to get sponsored by some sort of UN foundation or charity/aid group, Somali's in the badiyo aren't wealthy. The lack of infrastructure and electricity also means you'll have to have a mobile set up with electric generators.
I dont trust UN or any of those NGOs, most likely i will have to start teaching kids about the "alphabet" or lose funding, im not going down that route. the technology exists, it just needs someone to make it real.
How will you afford to run the whole thing then?
Unfortunately, current language learning models are not optimized to work with the Somali language, so unless one wants such AI to teach students in English only, this is not feasible. This is because language learning models such as ChatGPT are trained on large sets of human knowledge and data, and if one wants a language model to be trained in Somali, one would need to use human knowledge translated or already in the Somali language, which would already limit the scope of knowledge of such generative AI. Additionally, it would be difficult to translate large pieces of books, articles, webpages filled with knowledge to Somali, and this could potentially cost large swaths of money.
Even if you want to teach students only in English, using language models such as ChatGPT would not be feasible either. Such language models are trained to answer questions, not necessarily teach students, and you would need to create a language model that is trained specifically on teaching students, perhaps trained on imitating a real teacher. Additionally, if you want an in-person teaching experience, such model must be trained alongside creating a humanoid robot imitating a teacher. While some companies have made strides in creating a humanoid robot, such technological endeavors are prone to issues and it may take decades before such technologies are available for use. This means that such AI would only be able to be utilized in an online form of education, which would provide disadvantages over an in-person experience. Additionally, given that your students would be in rural swaths of the country, the dominant language is obviously Somali and it would be illogical for such students to have an English exclusive education. Lastly, current language learning models are not completely accurate, and there will be mistakes made in the teaching, and assessment of students, meaning that such AI teachers will be inferior to real teachers.
Ultimately, such idea is not feasible with current technology and would require significant cash investment to make possible.
