As described by the authors\, “rather than being a single unified statement this position paper is a collection of heterogeneous texts that range from design guidelines to scholarly essays to artworks to descriptions of technology prototypes to poetry.” (2020) Regardless of the discipline your work is situated within\, this series aims to offer meaningful opportunities to engage with the complexities of AI and Indigenous knowledge systems. Through a series of facilitated discussions\, participants will delve into the diverse perspectives presented in the position paper\, critically examining how Indigenous protocols can inform ethical AI development\, challenge existing paradigms\, and propose alternative approaches.\nFacilitators\n\nRachelle McKay\, Anishinaabe\, MA Indigenous Governance – Educational Developer\, Indigenous Knowledges & Ways of Knowing\nAbdullah Al Mukaddim – Artificial Intelligence Analyst URL:/dept/clt/events-news/Calendar%20of%20Events/2024/09/25/indigenous_ai_virtual_reading_group__discussion_1_.html UID:/dept/clt/events-news/Calendar%20of%20Events/2024/09/25/indigenous_ai_virtual_reading_group__discussion_1_/_jcr_content/contentPar/dcalfacultyevent.html END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
