Description
In an unassuming house on the Tunisian island of Djerba, Said al-Barouni embarked on a mission to safeguard his Muslim community's little-known heritage, using technology and AI to save age-old religious manuscripts. The member of the Islamic offshoot Ibadism took up the reins of his family's six-generation library and has been in a race against time to preserve whatever Ibadi manuscripts he can find. "Around 1,200 pages of manuscripts were digitised. We formed around five teams to correct the errors because this artificial intelligence software leaves a margin of error," says the 74-year-old man.
