RA 3 Summit Recordings
Watch our researcher's key notes here
Data science is creating an immersive digitally enabled society and the challenge for Indigenous communities is to thrive within this digital future. The opportunity lies both in decolonising algorithms as well as Indigenising artificial intelligence to ensure equitable outcomes and enhance M膩ori distinctiveness.
