Council (3 models): NineNineSix's open-source text-to-speech model expands language support for underrepresented regions, decentralizing AI innovation and challenging English-centric dominance. This fosters new electronic labour opportunities while enabling cross-sector applications in finance, infrastructure, education, and media. Kyrgyzstan's tech sector gains traction as regional language support drives investment and local AI development. The model's open-source nature accelerates collaboration, though regulatory and ethical challenges emerge in non-English markets. Analysts agree on its impact but differ on sector-specific implications, with finance and infrastructure gaining prominence alongside education and media.
