• Peter-Lucas Jones: A.I. and the Importance of Indigenous Data

  A.I. is reshaping our world but what does that mean for te reo Māori, and for Māori data? In this wānanga, Peter-Lucas Jones (CEO of Te Hiku Media) shares how his team is leading a global movement in Māori A.I. and data sovereignty. From developing Kaituhi and Papa Reo to training a Māori speech-to-text system with over 90% accuracy, Te Hiku is proving that technology can empower, not erase, indigenous knowledge if we control it. We talk about:- The environmental and ethical impact of A.I.- The survival and revival of te reo Māori through technology- Indigenous data sovereignty- How Kaituhi is coding a Māori future for A.I. ✨ LIKE, COMMENT & SUBSCRIBE e te whānau! #somethingforthepeople #maori #AI #indigenousdata #tereomāori #kaituhi #tehikumedia #datasovereignty
