They also reflected on the profound consequences of the exclusion of indigenous cultures in databases, a reality that compromises the fairness of artificial intelligence systems. The exchange also highlighted the crucial importance of data sovereignty, an essential pillar of First Peoples&#8217; digital self-determination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13321 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.printempsnumerique.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Atelier-Nvidia24-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The workshop, consisting of a participatory lecture and a practical phase, gave rise to spontaneous and sensitive exchanges on algorithmic biases, ethical issues, access to technologies and the role of AI in cultural preservation.
