Hua Ki’i: A Prototype for Developing Ethical Indigenous AI
May 13, 2021, 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm
Join CAIDA and Language Sciences for Hua Ki’i - A Prototype for Developing Ethical Indigenous AI, a talk by five Indigenous scholars from five distinct nations:
- Caroline Running Wolf (Apsáalooke )
- Caleb Moses (Maori)
- Dr. Noelani Arista (Kanaka Maoli)
- Michael Running Wolf (Cheyenne/Lakota), and
- Joel Davison (Gadigal/Dunghutti)
The five speakers are members of the Indigenous Protocol and Artificial Intelligence Working Group and will talk about the group's work, Indigenous protocol considerations in AI, and the development of the Hua Ki'i app, a prototype of these protocols in action which uses object recognition to translate images into Indigenous languages, starting with Hawaiian.
