Sakar Kamal Wahid, Talar Sabah Omer

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that, since its inception, has converged with various disciplines and fields. As a modern and integrative approach to knowledge, it offers extensive services to language processing, continuously expanding its capabilities. This growth enhances communication efficiency and accelerates access to information, helping to bridge linguistic gaps globally—particularly for the Kurdish language. This study, titled "The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Language Services: The Kurdish Language as a Case Study," underscores AI’s pivotal role in developing and preserving Kurdish through natural language processing (NLP) applications. These advancements have also exposed persistent linguistic challenges in Kurdish. Our research aims to: Explore the scope of human intelligence across its manifestations and levels, Highlight AI’s contributions to the Kurdish language, Evaluate how effectively Kurdish has leveraged these tools for its advancement and preservation, and Assess the current standing of Kurdish within AI-driven language technologies. While AI enables Kurdish to remain vibrant and competitive among the world’s living languages, its AI-supported resources remain limited compared to other languages. This disparity stems from the predominance of individual efforts rather than coordinated initiatives among.
