Algorithmic practices such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) are being increasingly spread into every sphere of life. Data-driven research is having a larger and larger impact on society, acting as a promising tool for solving complex societal problems in critical sectors. Simultaneously, great risks exist connected to AI implementation and usage, such as reinforcing unjust discriminatory patterns. This talk explores the relationship between extractive practices and influences in contemporary AI development and governance, as well as the potential consequences of it for Indigenous communities like the Sámi.
Nellie Pierre is a MSE student in Interaction Technology and Design at Umeå University. She focuses her research on holistic perspectives, questioning what developing technology in ways that benefit humanity, the environment and society really means from different perspectives. Currently, she is writing her master’s thesis on the role of transparency and interpretability in AI-systems related to epistemic justice.
Tuva Falk holds an MSc in Interaction Technology and Design from Umeå University. Her work critically examines the intersection of technology, society, and ethics, with a specific focus on the limits of machine logic. Driven by a passion for responsible AI, she investigates how digitization impacts cultural practices and embodied knowledge. Looking ahead, her ambition is to pursue further research exploring how we can design technology that safeguards human wisdom and respects ethical boundaries.
