TikTok Series Plan: Creative AI, Mandinka, and N'Ko

This series should not feel like a research paper cut into clips. It should feel like a creator showing people a completely different way to use AI. > I used AI to reconnect with my native language, Mandinka, and it turned into a research project about whether machines can hear and write the language in the script built for it. That is the center. The audience does not meet the project through CER, CTC, TAR, TTT, AGP, or paper structure. They meet it through a surprising claim: AI is not only for making images, writing emails, or generating captions. It can become a microscope for culture, language, memory, and identity. The technical work still matters. It gives the story seriousness. But on TikTok, the research is the receipt, not the opening line. > "Here is a way I used AI to investigate my own language, my own script, and the infrastructure gap around it."
