Indigenous peoples see artificial intelligence as a kind of helper that learns from people and can do things for them.
Imagine you have a friend who watches you play with your toys every day. At first, they just watch, but over time, they start to understand how you like to build your towers or solve puzzles. One day, they might even help you build a tower faster or find the right puzzle piece without you telling them what to do.
That’s kind of like how artificial intelligence works, it learns from people and can help with tasks that are important to them.
Like a Storyteller Who Listens
Some Indigenous peoples think about artificial intelligence as if it were a storyteller who listens. Just like your grandparent tells stories in a way that feels special, an AI can learn how people tell their stories or share knowledge and then help pass those stories on to others.
So instead of just seeing AI as something new and strange, many Indigenous peoples see it as a helpful tool, one that can grow and change just like they do.
Examples
