Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper examines including Indigenous perspectives into data ethics strategies and artificial intelligence practices as part of a corporate reconciliation commitment. Through three workshops with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples, the research explored Indigenous Knowledge, data ethics, and responsible AI use.The study identified three key themes: respecting Indigenous data sovereignty, ensuring Indigenous involvement in AI development, and implementing distinctions-based approaches. Case studies demonstrate practical applications, including the OCAP® principles learning circle, AI image declaration, and partnerships with Indigenous-owned technology companies.Key findings emphasize the importance of distinctions-based approaches, including Indigenous data sovereignty principles, and involving Indigenous Peoples across multiple levels of AI development and governance. The findings conclude that prioritizing Indigenous involvement in emerging technologies is crucial for ethical innovation and advancing reconciliation while fostering sustainable, community-driven outcomes.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
