AI AND INDIGENOUS ECONOMIC WELL-BEING

Denise Williams is a prominent leader, advocate, and innovator dedicated to advancing Indigenous governance, education, and economic well-being. A member of the Cowichan Tribes, she has consistently championed the empowerment of Indigenous communities through equitable access to opportunities and resources.

In her new role as a Fellow, Denise will be working with the Centre's Dialogue on Technology Project (DoT) to lead the creation of collaborative programming at the intersection of AI and Indigenous Economic Well-Being. This work will support Indigenous leadership in AI Governance, enabling a coordinated response to a core call from DoT's December 2024 Symposium on BC's AI Future: “not another technological transition without Indigenous leadership.”
