He Waiwai ko AI?: Problems and Possibilities of AI for Kānaka

October 29, 5:00pm - 7:00pm
Mānoa Campus, Hālau o Haumea, Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies

Come listen to two of the foremost voices in the realm of Indigenous AI. Kānaka Hawaiʻi have a long and fraught relationship with outside technologies. Sometimes it has been detrimental, and sometimes, like with print literacy and the newspapers, we used it to great effect for our own liberatory purposes. Where might AI fit on this spectrum? Drs. Michelle Lee Brown and Keolu Fox, two of the foremost voices in Indigenous AI, discuss the problems and possibilities of AI for Indigenous communities. Sponsored by KCHS and HIFI, which is funded by Abundant Intelligences through the New Frontiers of Research Fund and Social Science and Humanities Research Council. Also join us for a small hands-on workshop “Guerrilla Computing and Future Imaginaries of Indigenous AI” on Saturday, Nov 1, from 9am-2pm with Michelle and Keolu at the Create(x) Lab at Ƶ West Oʻahu. You will really get an opportunity to dig into your ideas or questions about AI and how it might benefit our communities. Spaces are limited and lunch will be provided.
