The Hechos Por Nosotros project’s objective is to develop a framework of engagement which will instill ownership within the artisan community in preserving their heritage. The repository will help in safeguarding and preserving invaluable Artisanal Intelligence for the future. By using the native languages to create this repository, the AI based model will promote digital inclusion as well.

 

The initiative aims to use AI to empower Indigenous artisans to create:

a) a knowledge repository of skill sets, practices and expertise and  

b) AI based learning tool to create visually compelling but authentic content to educate and guide learners on the skill sets

The proposed AI system will help artisans to overcome literacy, access and technological challenges and aims to promote equity.

2.  Circular economy through sustainable eco friendly processes.

3. ⁠ Stronger Artisan network, community creation for collaborative growth as a whole.

4.  ⁠Learning tools and pathways for knowledge transfer to future generations.
