Safeguarding Indigenous and Local Knowledge in the Digital Age
Recent legal challenges surrounding the use of copyrighted materials in training artificial intelligence (AI) systems have underscored the importance of data provenance, consent, and compensation. However, these debates largely overlook Indigenous and local knowledge systems, which are increasingly digitized and incorporated into AI training datasets without equivalent safeguards. Drawing on the recent Anthropic lawsuit, we examine ethical risks …
Emerging Synergies Between Information Technology and Applied Ethnobotanical Research
Ethnobotanical research has historically played a vital role in humankinds understanding of the relationship between people and the biological environment. Today, it remains a rapidly growing field of research, gaining professional, student and public interest both within the US and inter-nationally. Ethnobiologists have however been very slow to adopt and apply tools of the informatics revolution and to integrate research data collaboratively. I…
