In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Dr. Keolu Fox (Kanaka Maoli) to explore the environmental impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) and what it means for Indigenous data sovereignty. From the energy-hungry servers behind our everyday Googling to the broader implications of AI on Indigenous knowledge systems, we ask: Can AI be done better?
Can contemporary Native communities live in harmony with AI, or is it just another tool of colonization? Dr. Fox breaks down the risks, opportunities, and what Indigenous-led AI could look like. If you've ever wondered how technology intersects with sustainability, sovereignty, and cultural preservation, this is the episode for you.
Tune in to join the conversation and rethink what AI could mean for the future of Indigenous innovation.
