“Stop Generating”: Generative AI in the Contexts of Indigenous Studies

October 24 at 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

free
Open UBC presents Open Access Week October 21 - 27. Open sign with Come in we're open on it

Generative AI has forced universities to contend with complex ethical and social questions—namely because writing is so deeply entrenched as an institutional gatekeeping. For many students, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds or for whom English is not a first language, the pressure to translate ideas into “proper” English contributes to attrition rates and exacerbates feelings of inadequacy, alienation, and exclusion from many academic communities.

In this presentation, David Gaertner Assoicate Professor Institute for Critical Indigenous Studies will draw from Indigenous theorists and authors to situate generative AI and large language models (LLMs) within a long colonial history of extraction.
