SUMMARY:Abundant Imaginaries: Virtual Student Symposium on Indigenous AI Futures
DESCRIPTION:The future of artificial intelligence remains unclear. But one thing is certain: the technology is bound to fail if it’s not shaped by an abundance of knowledges and imaginaries. \nThe Abundant Intelligences research program – which advances methods of developing culturally-grounded AI systems to support Indigenous ways of knowing – aims to contribute to such abundance through its Student Symposium on Indigenous AI Futures! \nJoin us for Abundant Imaginaries\, a student symposium on Indigenous AI Futures\, to learn how artificial intelligence is being imagined – and built – anew through Indigenous Protocols and Knowledge Systems. \nWith six thematic panels spread across two days\, students from around the world will share their research-creation projects and future imaginaries of AI rooted in Indigenous Knowledges\, protocols\, epistemologies\, and arts. \n  \n  \nSCHEDULE:\n  \nDAY 1 – Wednesday May 13\, 2026 \n2 PM: Welcome & Opening Remarks. \n2:15 PM: Panel 1: Countering ongoing colonialism and biases in Western technologies and institutions. \n3:30 PM: Break \n3:45 PM: Panel 2: Language Models & Indigenous Knowledges: Rethinking mainstream approaches. \n5 PM: Panel 3: Emerging AI Futures from Aotearoa. \n  \nDAY 2- Thursday May 14\, 2026\n2 PM: Panel 4: Towards epistemic justice in research and creation methodologies. \n3:15 PM: Break \n3:30 PM: Panel 5 Decolonizing the AI Stack: Approaches to Indigenous data and Infrastructural Sovereignty. \n4:45PM: Panel 6: Indigenous Design Futures. \n  \nPresentation Abstract can be found here.\n  \n May 13 & 14\, 2026\n 2 -6:30 PM\n Online\n🌐 Zoom Link: https://concordia-ca.zoom.us/j/89025544771\n\n
