I was honoured to present at the prestigious Gibbon Lectures earlier this year and to be hosted by the School of Computer Science at University of Auckland.
I share my thoughts about how we (Māori) are at a crossroads in human evolution, and that AI could be used to decolonise and empower Māori.
I discuss how all Indigenous Peoples including Māori are on the brink of being colonised again with AI if they are not a part of the ethics, initial planning and decision-making processes, as beta testers and codevelopers, throughout the entire life cycle of generative AI from inception to deployment and then in a monitoring capacity.
The talk then discusses the positive impacts of generative AI with te reo Māori and future considerations for Māori Peoples with generative AI in our traditional settings such as marae and pōwhiri.
Otherwise, we will be at the start of a new colonial evolution that has been developing for nearly 60 years.
The video is hosted on YouTube here and starts at about 7.23 mins in.
