Anna Luisa Daigneault is a linguistic anthropologist, musician, and PhD student in Anthropology at Université de Montréal, where she is studying the implications of using artificial intelligence in the documentation and revitalization of the Indigenous languages of the Americas.
She also serves as Lead Digital Curator for Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages, a nonprofit research organization, where she has worked since 2011. She has collaborated closely with many speakers of Indigenous, diaspora and creole languages, and has conducted ethnolinguistic fieldwork and citizen-linguist training in communities around the world.
At Living Tongues Institute, Daigneault helps lead a web development team that creates multilingual technology (such as the Living Dictionaries platform) with the goal of safeguarding data in under-represented languages. Daigneault’s passion for protecting linguistic diversity is reflected in her articles, which have been published by The Conversation (Canada), Global Voices, SAPIENS, and others.
