Dataphyte partners Archivi.ng to drive data-driven storytelling with Nubia AI

Dataphyte and Archivi.ng, a non-profit dedicated to preserving Nigerian historical newspapers, have announced a partnership to bring data-driven storytelling and historical analysis to Africa.

This partnership combines Dataphyte’s expertise in real-time, localized data collection and analytics with Archivi.ng’s extensive repository of digitized historical news content to power Nubia AI, Dataphyte’s cutting-edge AI storytelling platform.

According to a statement on Monday, Nubia AI will use big data and historical archives to tell untold stories from Nigeria’s past, present, and future.

Archivi.ng’s vast collection of digitized historical newspapers will help Nubia AI generate insightful narratives that bridge the gap between the past and present.

“With Archivi.ng as our partner, Nubia.ai takes a giant leap forward in its ability to tell the full story of Africa,” Joshua Olufemi, chief executive officer of Dataphyte, said.

“By combining real-time data with historical news insights, we can create a richer, more nuanced understanding of the continent’s past, present, and potential.”

On his part, Fu’ad Lawal, founder of Archivi.ng,  said: “This partnership is a testament to the power of collaboration in unlocking the potential of data.

“By making historical African news accessible to AI, we open doors to untold stories and pave the way for a more inclusive and informed future.”

According to the partners, Nubia AI goes beyond mere data crunching. It employs advanced AI algorithms to extract meaning and context from the data, weaving together compelling narratives that resonate with diverse audiences.

By incorporating historical data, Nubia.AI can shed light on the evolution of African cultures and societies, celebrate forgotten heroes, and provide context to contemporary challenges.

The historical data used by Nubia.AI will be readily available for independent research and exploration, empowering individuals and communities to engage with their history and contribute to a more comprehensive African narrative.

The Dataphyte-Archivi.ng partnership marks a significant step forward in data-driven storytelling and historical analysis in Africa.

With Nubia.ai as the bridge, this collaboration promises to uncover hidden gems of African history, empower communities, and inform a broader global understanding of the continent’s unique narratives.
