Artificial Intelligence is transforming the world at an unprecedented pace. But what does AI mean for Indigenous nations, Traditional Ecological Knowledge, data sovereignty, and future generations?
In this episode of Drum Circle News, Dylan Aubrey sits down with Desiree Jackson of the Matriarch AI Initiative and David Jacobs of Kinship Intelligence to discuss Indigenous perspectives on artificial intelligence, data governance, AI literacy, sovereignty, behavioral manipulation, and the future of human relationships in an increasingly digital world.
Together they explore:
• Indigenous approaches to AI governance
• The protection of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK)
• Data sovereignty and Indigenous ownership of knowledge
• AI literacy for Native communities
• Deepfakes, misinformation, and behavioral influence
• The concept of Kinship Intelligence • Indigenous women and Two-Spirit leadership in technology
• Why Indigenous nations must engage in the AI conversation now As AI continues to reshape society, this discussion asks an important question: Will Indigenous peoples become passive consumers of this technology, or active architects of its future?
