It is technology use rather than AI. Keep the people as much as possible.

Looking at Irish Sign Language data sets and how we ensure that kind of regional sign language, I also think about the number of children in Ireland being taught Lámh. They would probably be completely out of this world because there are enough people using Irish Sign Language to get those data sets and those video data into AI systems. However, when you look at Lámh, it is such a limited use. I can see them being totally in this digital divide and falling even further behind.
