How AI images are 'flattening' Indigenous cultures—creating a new form of tech colonialism

Adobe's stock platform was found to host AI -generated "Aboriginal artwork," raising concerns over whether genuine Indigenous artworks were used to train the software without artists' consent.

The National Indigenous Times reports Adobe has come under fire for hosting AI images that claim to depict "Indigenous Australians ," but don't resemble Aboriginal Australians .

They may, for instance, implement ethical guidelines for AI image generation, or reconfigure AI training datasets to add nuance and specificity to Indigenous imagery. At the same time, we'll need to educate AI users about the risk of cultural flattening, and how to avoid it when representing Indigenous people, places, or art. This would require a coordinated approach involving educational institutions from kindergarten upwards, as well as the platforms that support AI image creation. The future goal is, of course, the respectful representation of Indigenous cultures that are already fighting for survival in many other ways. Provided by The Conversation.
