This session will bring together Kamuela Enos, Fenwick McKelvey, and Maroussia Lévesque to discuss policy and governance of AI, addressing how decision-making structures, regulatory frameworks, and governance models shape the development and deployment of AI technologies. Our experienced panelists will consider how their work contributes to uncovering and shaping the conditions under which AI operates.

In this discussion, we will consider how Indigenous epistemologies can inform AI governance, moving beyond dominant paradigms to embrace relational, land-based, and community-centered approaches. What does it mean to govern AI in ways that uphold Indigenous sovereignty, data governance, and self-determination? How can policy frameworks integrate principles of relational accountability, respect for more-than-human intelligence, and collective consent?
