Ethical AI & Indigenous Innovation

Research-Led Services — Launching 2026

Technology is moving faster than our cultural frameworks can keep up.

My current Master’s research explores how AI, language, and storytelling intersect and how we can design technology that protects identity, data, and community integrity.

These upcoming services will launch in 2026, once my thesis is complete, shaped by fundamental research, interviews, and community collaboration. They’ll help organisations, researchers, and innovators build ethical technology practices that respect culture, context, and people.

Current Research Focus

Project Title: Ethical AI and Indigenous Storytelling: Protecting Language, Data, and Culture
Purpose: To explore how AI systems can be designed with communities to uphold ethical principles and cultural authenticity.

The research examines:

• How AI can support rather than distort language and storytelling

• Frameworks for Indigenous data governance and sovereignty

• The role of ethics in AI translation, automation, and design

• Pathways for responsible AI implementation in New Zealand and beyond

This research forms the foundation for the consulting and assessment services that will follow.

Launching in 2026
