"Much of the conversation about artificial intelligence (AI) and Indigenous
peoples focuses on harms, such as cultural appropriation, cultural flattening
and digital exclusion. These risks are real.
But behind them sits an assumption that rarely gets challenged: because
Aboriginal cultures are ancient, they must be static. Rooted firmly in the
past, to stay there. That they cannot adapt to something as disruptive as
generative AI.
This misreads tens of thousands of years of history. And it misses something
our work with Traditional Owners in the Kimberley in Western Australia has made
increasingly clear: Indigenous cultures are not only capable of adapting to AI
– the way they have always held and transmitted knowledge may make them natural
users of it."
