Artificial intelligence poses challenges and opportunities for Indigenous Peoples. The Permanent Forum recommends that United Nations entities involved in developing, governing and applying artificial intelligence and digital technologies ensure the meaningful inclusion of Indigenous Peoples in the entities’ processes for the benefit of Indigenous Peoples. The Forum offers assistance in identifying experts in artificial intelligence and in Indigenous Peoples’ rights.
The Permanent Forum decided to comprehensively assess its work to improve and strengthen the Forum’s effectiveness. It will be carried out at no cost by a volunteer group of current Forum members, who can invite former members from the seven sociocultural regions to make contributions. The Forum will report on this process at its twenty-fifth session.
