The Basque Government allocated €5 million to the Euskorpus project, which builds an AI-ready digital corpus of the Basque language to enable AI systems to function in Euskera. The project is positioned as both a cultural and economic development initiative, strengthening the region’s AI capacity in its minority language.
Who it affects: Basque-language communities, AI developers operating in the Basque Country, and public institutions that serve Basque speakers.
What is notably missing: Euskorpus is an infrastructure and R&D project rather than a citizen-facing AI literacy resource. No training obligation or public education component is attached to the project.
