AI affects everyone—including Indigenous people

AI technology poses significant risks, particularly to Indigenous communities, which have been largely overlooked in its development. Issues such as cultural appropriation and misinformation are exacerbated by AI systems that fail to respect Indigenous knowledge and perspectives. The call for Indigenous data sovereignty emphasizes the need for Indigenous peoples to control their own data and narratives in the AI landscape.

Indigenous voices are crucial in shaping AI technologies to ensure they reflect diverse worldviews and realities. The concept of 'Indigenous Futurisms' highlights the importance of integrating ancient cultural understandings into future technological developments. Without meaningful involvement of Indigenous peoples in AI governance, claims of equitable benefits from AI remain unfulfilled.

• AI risks to Indigenous communities include cultural appropriation and misinformation.

• Indigenous data sovereignty is essential for ethical AI development.
