Why This Thesis Matters

Over the next eight weeks, I’m inviting people into the final sprint of completing my master’s thesis, while working full‑time in tech, being a mum, and being Māori. These reflections aren’t about sharing my thesis content, but about the thinking, questioning, unlearning, and discovering that shape this journey. My hope is that this series helps open up deeper conversations about Māori data, Māori language, Māori futures, and our role in shaping ethical AI.
