AI accessible to all radio stations.

Not all radio stations have access to the powerful servers, high-speed connections or premium subscriptions of the big AI platforms. And yet solutions do exist for experimenting with forms of artificial intelligence locally, on modest machines or using open source tools. This idea highlights the technical accessibility of AI and encourages regional radio stations, community radio stations and independent radio stations to take advantage of these resources, including local transcription, titling AI and thematic clustering. It's a localized, lightweight, controlled AI adapted to the realities of each region.

Sub-themes around this idea for programme content: ways to leverage, develop or angle the topic:

For listeners:

• Listeners meet radio stations testing lightweight open source AIs
• Low-tech AI: a tool for technological independence?
• Participatory workshops to discover local AI
• Comparison between well-equipped and more modest radio stations
• Audience testimonials on the use of AI in regional areas
• 
  
• Potential guests: local radio presenter, developer of open source solutions, representative of a technology NGO, etc.

For the radio teams:

• What AI solutions are available for regional and community radio stations?
• Demonstration of tools that run without an Internet connection
• Can Whisper be deployed locally? Whisper is an open source speech recognition system developed by Open AI, capable of transcribing and translating audio files in a wide range of languages.
• Workshop: installing and testing a local AI on a radio set
• Use of local voices to provide testimonials and verified updates in restricted areas
