New and old knowledges: First Peoples’ health and AI

Perspectives & Insights

SESSION DETAILS

Tuesday 23 April, 11am - 12:30pm AEST
Breakout 1

Indigenous knowledges have evolved over thousands of generations, grounded in relational ways of understanding the world. These ways of understanding the world have been largely suppressed and disregarded with colonisation, and now artificial intelligence presents new challenges.

This session aims to share understandings of artificial intelligence and discuss what the relationship of Indigenous peoples should be with this emerging technology.

Participants can expect to hear from leading international experts who will discuss:

  • Artificial intelligence and how is it being used in our lives?

  • Key challenges for Indigenous peoples and how can we mitigate these risks to health and wellbeing?

  • Key advantages and how can we harness these to contribute to the health and wellbeing of Indigenous peoples.
