But Indigenous nations have been at the forefront of the fight for sovereignty over stories, culture, traditions, and language, for far longer. That deep-rooted familiarity has helped put them at the forefront of adapting and adopting new tech in Canada. The news: BC-based Animikii recently inked a pilot partnership with Manitoba’s Sandy Bay Ojibway First Nation to secure stewardship of data about the community’s history. The tech co

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Yet another AI researcher has issued a staggering warning: the cutthroat race to build ever-more-powerful AI systems could wipe out humanity.
