The Power of Story

Artificial Intelligence, copyright and Indigenous Culture

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used for creative and artistic innovation. But how does AI interface with Indigenous culture and knowledge?

AI has the potential to assist people in many capacities. Despite this, AI raises issues and risks for Copyright, Intellectual Property (IP), and Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP). The following blog post discusses the current landscape of AI and copyright, then explores how AI connects to ICIP. It outlines some key issues and concerns, identifies opportunities where AI can be beneficial, and presents ways to protect ICIP in projects that involve AI.
