"Since artificial intelligence (AI) became mainstream over the past two years,
many of the risks it poses have been widely documented. As well as fuelling
deep fake porn, threatening personal privacy and accelerating the climate
crisis, some people believe the emerging technology could even lead to human
extinction.
But some risks of AI are still poorly understood. These include the very
particular risks to Indigenous knowledges and communities.
There’s a simple reason for this: the AI industry and governments have largely
ignored Indigenous people in the development and regulation of AI technologies.
Put differently, the world of AI is too white.
AI developers and governments need to urgently fix this if they are serious
about ensuring everybody shares the benefits of AI. As Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander people like to say, “nothing about us, without us”."
