Maori Data Sovereignty with Megan Tapsell, Dr Karaitiana Taiuru JP, and Assoc Prof Maui Hudson

Welcome to another episode from the AI Australia podcast, with your hosts Natalie Rouse and Kobi Leins. Continuing the conversation from our last interview on the importance of Indigenous data rights, this time we cross the ditch to Aotearoa New Zealand, discussing Maori data sovereignty and artificial intelligence with three special guests: Megan Tapsell, Associate Professor Maui Hudson, and Dr Karaitiana Taiuru. They discuss their roles and responsibilities in advocating for indigenous data rights, the challenges and opportunities they face in this area, and the importance of data sovereignty for Maori communities. Towards the end, they call upon corporations to involve and fairly pay Indigenous people when working with data that impacts their communities. Apologies for some audio quality issues at times - we experienced some technical difficulties in recording, but are very pleased to be able to bring you most of what we felt was an important & valuable conversation.
