Michael Running Wolf is an AI researcher and co-founder of the FLAIR programme, dedicated to revitalizing endangered Indigenous languages with AI and VR tools. His unique perspective stems from his heritage as a Lakota and Cheyenne, and his experiences growing up near a reservation. Collaborators admire him for blending technology with cultural sensitivity and a commitment to Indigenous sovereignty. His work aims to utilize AI not just for innovation but to also rectify historical harms inflicted on Indigenous communities by the misuse of technology.
"The work that Michael does is so sophisticated and complex because it's bridging the sacred with the science."
"We're fortunate to have him overseeing efforts to reclaim Indigenous languages because his foremost thoughts are to protect and honour Indigenous sovereignty."
