Yes, AI has a big effect on the knowledge of Indigenous Peoples, both good and bad. AI can be a valuable tool for bringing back dead languages and protecting cultural heritage. It can help record oral traditions and make educational materials for future generations. Most AI models, on the other hand, are trained on data that is mostly Western-centric, which could lead to Indigenous knowledge being misrepresented and taken out of context. The unregulated application of this technology, absent the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) of Indigenous people, may result in a novel kind of digital colonialism, wherein ancestral knowledge is exploited without equitable benefit-sharing, jeopardizing Indigenous data sovereignty and perpetuating historical injustices.
The discourse you have initiated is both timely and significant. The main focus of my research is the analysis of the impact of artificial intelligence on human values. Empirical data confirms that the daily use of these technologies has already initiated a process of transformation in individual values. It is our professional duty to continue to study this phenomenon and inform the public about its development, so that in the future we can consciously shape the development of technology, rather than merely dealing with its unforeseen and potentially undesirable social losses.
