As AI conversations grow louder, we asked community radio stations what this shift looks like on the ground. How is AI entering their studios? What does it mean for programming and everyday work? Their responses are layered and rooted in lived experience. @UNESCO #radioandai

We asked community radio stations how accents, dialects, and mixed languages shape everyday broadcasts. Local accents carry trust, emotion, and lived experience. As technology evolves, these conversations remind us that connection isnโ€™t just about reach, itโ€™s about resonance.

We asked community radio stations why broadcast language matters. For community radio, language means access, trust, and belonging. As AI promises translation and reach, stations across India reflect on whether it can carry the nuance and context of local languages and dialects.
