I was interested in learning more about how Indigenous people feel and think about using and being involved in developing digital technologies. We all have citizenship to a world, even if it is unwanted and the modern digital world. So, how can we use the wisdom and traditional knowledge of Indigenous communities all around the planet to enhance this world? How can we combine that knowledge with this technology?
For the last part of this blog, I decided to look at some of the ongoing and done projects (including the creation of media)and research studies around the topic of technology and Indigenous people.
I found many projects with the main focus on climate change. One of the very interesting projects is using artificial intelligence and Indigenous knowledge to save baby turtles on their journey from the shore to the water.
Indigenous knowledge and AI help protect baby turtles from predators on Australia’s remote Cape York
