Indigenous AI Governance: Voices From Aotearoa
This book is a call to action. Diverse Māori voices—leaders and innovators—share their thinking on how Indigenous sovereignty shapes AI design, data protection, and institutional power. These conversations demand we act now. The future of technology is being written. The question is: will Māori be the ones writing it?
