Decolonising the Algorithm - Dan Te Whenua Walker

This week talk about Culturalising Tech OR Decolonising the Algorithm. Our people were resourceful and fearless in seeking out and settling in new lands, the digital future is no different, this is who we are and we need to be leading the way. AI - Artificial Intelligence - is everywhere. Did you know that in Aotearoa less than 2% of the people working in Tech are Maori & Pasifika? Thinking about what that means for a future filled with AI, AI created by and for non-indigenous peoples, without tikanga or values, is Dan Te Whenua Walker. Dan, of Ngāti Ruanui, Ngā Ruahinerangi, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairoa, Maniapoto, Tūhourangi is the Cloud Infrastructure and Applications Solutions Specialist at Microsoft New Zealand.
