The AFCC has announced they are looking to host an Indigenous-led AI Conference in the spring of 2027. As the world and technology, including artificial intelligence, continues to change, the AFCC wants Indigenous voices involved to help shape the future of AI, and how Indigenous peoples and their communities can stay as a part of the conversation.
The QR code takes you to a questionnaire, and allows people to share concerns, or conversely, what sort of opportunities AI can open. Each answer is completely anonymous, but will ultimately help inform and shape information sessions during their conference next spring.
CJWE got to sit down with Mount Royal University Associate Professor of Indigenous Studies, Gabrielle Weasel Head, who works with the AFCC on this upcoming conference. We asked Gabrielle about the importance of Indigenous voices being heard during the current artificial intelligence “race”.
We asked about what kind of feedback they are expecting.
Gabrielle talked about the importance of balancing Indigenous advancements with ethics, and environmental advocacy.
