About this Event

AI: American Indian Governance in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming governance, law, and decision-making across society. For Indigenous communities, these developments raise urgent questions about sovereignty, data governance, natural resources, migration, and ethical responsibility.

This student-led symposium brings together faculty scholars and Native students to explore the implications of artificial intelligence for Indigenous governance in the U.S.โ€“Mexico borderlands and beyond.

The event is organized by the Native & Indigenous Law Students Association (NILSA) at the University of Arizona and will feature interdisciplinary perspectives from law, public health, and American Indian Studies.

Participants will explore how emerging technologies intersect with Indigenous values, governance structures, and community priorities.
