Indigenous Peoples and Artificial Intelligence: A Systematic Review and Future Directions

This systematic literature review addresses the intersection of Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) and artificial intelligence (AI). We explore how AI can be developed and deployed in ways that respect and integrate indigenous perspectives, examining both the opportunities and challenges at this critical intersection. The review provides future directions for research and practice in this emerging field.
