KOTA KINABALU, Oct 11 — Digital technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), has the potential to become a crucial medium in efforts to preserve the Dusun language, ensuring that this community’s heritage continues to be learned, used, and inherited by future generations.
Sabah Deputy Chief Minister I Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam said that modern technology can be leveraged through the development of digital dictionaries, recordings of Dusun speech, podcast production, and the creation of online learning materials.
He noted that these efforts need to be strengthened through the involvement of the younger generation, educational institutions, and local communities so that the Dusun language remains relevant and continues to be used in daily life.
