Te Mihinga Komene on Ensuring Māori Language Data Flourishes in the Generative AI Era

In this episode of World Privacy Forum's Privacy on the Ground, Māori language expert and educator Te Mihinga Komene shares positive and problematic experiences working with tech companies to help build and correct Māori language translation and learning systems. Komene also discusses extractive data collection practices in AI, and why she hopes her scholarly research will help ensure the Māori language flourishes in the generative AI era. She was interviewed by World Privacy Forum Deputy Director Kate Kaye in June 2024 in Rio de Janeiro at the FAccT conference on fairness, accountability, and transparency in socio-technical systems.
