This panel will explore the ideas and critiques, as well as practices and Knowledges that inform the Abundant Intelligences research program. The Abundant Intelligences research program imagines anew how to conceptualize and design Artificial Intelligence (AI) based on Indigenous Knowledges (IK) and Systems. Our approach is grounded in Indigenous epistemologies containing robust conceptual frameworks for developing technologies that integrate into existing lifeways, supporting the flourishing of future generations, and are optimized for abundance rather than scarcity. Our goal is to advance methods for improving AI to better serve everybody through exploring and developing culturally-grounded AI systems that support Indigenous ways of Knowing. This panel will present works from our co-investigators and discuss who will explore different aspects of the research program.
