Indigenous Technological Sovereignty

How do we think of Indigenous presence in Artificial Intelligence research, development and deployment beyond concepts of equity, diversity and inclusion? These issues of representation are important, but of equal importance is understanding how Indigenous knowledge frameworks can contribute important insights into how to design, build and use AI systems so that they are better able to contribute to the flourishing of all our relations—human and non-human. This talk will build on work related to the Indigenous Protocol and Artificial Intelligence Workshops to highlight what might be possible once Indigenous designers are in charge of creating AI.
