Artificial Intelligence and Indigenous Knowledge.

 


The Intersection of Technology, creativity and indigenous knowledge systems.

The following video discusses how Indigenous Knowledges and AI can create opportunities in education to understand important concepts such as sustainability as well as our roles and responsibilities with respect to the environment. This interview was with Ray John Jr. who is from the Oneida Nation and Mathias Babin who is a PhD student at Western University working in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science. 


 00:26 How this project helps to understand concepts found within Indigenous Knowledge Systems 02:29 How the AI came to determine that sustainability is the best outcome on its own                             10:17 Why it is important to work in partnership with Indigenous Peoples and communities                    12:29 How this project started as an idea to how it looks today                                                                 15:19 What is happening behind the scenes from a computer programming perspective                           18:14 Simulation #2                                                                                                                                       20:46 Challenges in the design process                                                                                                        28:44 Programs used 29:41 How AI can be of benefit when exploring and understanding what Indigenous Knowledge Systems are also telling us 31:52 Experience so far with this project from a Computer Scientist perspective
