Approaching AI Differently: Indigenous Knowledge & Yukon’s Future

December 2, 2026 @ 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Free
What can ancestral knowledge teach us about the future of artificial intelligence?

As AI continues to shape how we work, communicate and share information, important questions emerge about relationships, community, consent and who controls our knowledge.

Join Tech Yukon for an evening of thoughtful perspectives and conversation exploring how Indigenous knowledge and values can inform the way we approach emerging technologies.

The evening will feature Dana Tizya-Tramm, Nadlii, revisiting his powerful TEDxVictoria talk on ancestral intelligence, followed by a fireside chat exploring the opportunities, challenges and considerations surrounding AI and Yukon’s future.

Keith Halliday
