Abundant Soils Lecture 1: Reimagining AI Through ʻŌiwi Worldviews
How can we approach the integration of Hawaiian and western sciences using AI to better care for our ‘Āina?
In the inaugural lecture of the Abundant Soils Lecture Series, the Abundant Soils Project Lead, Dr. Melemaikalani Moniz, examines the intersection of Kānaka ʻŌiwi (Native Hawaiian) knowledge systems, western soil science, and artificial intelligence to advance environmental justice in Hawaiʻi. The Abundant Soils project seeks to reimagine artificial intelligence through ʻŌiwi worldviews, challenging colonial frameworks and ensuring the ethical integration of community-driven technologies that center ʻŌiwi and promote equity.
