The Silent Infodemic within South African Sign Language: Developing Human Language Technologies for South African Sign Language

As the frontiers of technology continue to expand, the responsibility to ensure justice, inclusion, and ethical stewardship becomes not merely an academic concern, but a moral imperative. South African Sign Language is not simply a linguistic system, it is a vessel of identity, memory, and resistance. Its integration into the fabric of twenty-first-century innovation must be pursued not as an act of charity, but as a matter of equity and cultural survival. The future will not be shaped solely by algorithms, datasets, or institutions, but by the people who dare to ask: whose voices are missing, and what futures are possible when they are heard? This book closes, but the real work begins.
