AI Resilience Lab: A Model for Responsible, Non-Extractive Technology
Indigenous women resist AI due to its controversial impacts. Our solution builds eco-friendly, hyperlocal community language models that protect data sovereignty and catalyze workplace applications.
The sovereignty of Indigenous people requires governance of not just lands, but also digital identities and data. Our solution tackles multiple AI barriers by offering an educational pathway for learning AI systems, followed by co-creation of community-governed local language models. These activities lead to new workforce pathways as Digital Navigators and workplace AI strategists. Enterprise models fail to reflect the vital wisdom that Indigenous women embody. Our solution forges a path for underrepresented women everywhere.
