An Indigenous Approach to Knowledge Sharing in the AI Era

To celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day, the Canadian Aboriginal and Minority Supplier Council invited kama.ai CEO Brian Ritchie to write a blog post about Indigenous approaches to knowledge sharing in an AI era.

In Corporate Canada, the arrival of National Indigenous History Month typically marks the beginning of a larger conversation about inclusivity in the workplace and what businesses can do for Indigenous people in order to foster truth and reconciliation. Brian proposes we turn this around a bit this year: it is not what you can do for Indigenous people, but what Indigenous people can do for you.
