Q&A: AI governance must respect Indigenous peoples
A Q&A piece from Dialogue Earth examines how AI governance frameworks must account for the rights and interests of Indigenous peoples, who are often left out of conversations about how AI systems are built and regulated.
Why this matters: AI governance debates tend to happen in the same rooms, with the same voices. Indigenous communities are rarely at the table, but they are not exempt from the consequences. AI systems trained on data can encode who matters and who does not. Land, language, cultural knowledge, and community records are all at stake. If governance frameworks do not include Indigenous peoples in a real way, they will just replicate old patterns of exclusion with faster tools.
