At the third annual TIME100 AI Impact Dinner in San Francisco, Danielle Boyer reflected on the “seven generations teaching” her grandmother shared with her, a lesson about considering what every decision leaves behind. She called on those building artificial intelligence to think about the impact their decisions could have on the next seven generations, and to consider not only what is possible, but what should be possible.

Boyer gave the opening toast at the 3rd annual TIME100 AI Impact Dinner and spoke about how a lot of the technology she’d encountered hurt more than it helped in the name of progress. It pushed her to start asking one simple question, “Progress for whom?”

Danielle Boyer’s work on Indigenous language tech made me rethink sign languages and AI. Not just access, but ownership. Who gets to collect our language, train systems on it and profit? Our language is not free data for someone else’s billion-dollar product.

MY LATEST IS OUT VIA INDIGENOUS INSIDER: A pipeline company just got told, in federal court, to get off Native land.
On July 30, a U.S. appeals court found Enbridge liable for trespassing on Bad River Band territory in northern Wisconsin — land the company had no legal right to be on since 2013. Over a decade of trespassing. Millions in restitution. A pipeline that’s leaked at least 29 times since 1968.

"It is devastating to feel like your language could be lost...You lose your culture, you lose a way to describe who you are." That's why she invented the SkoBot. a customizable toy robot designed to get Indigenous children excited to learn their languages. buff.ly/YUunttk
I’m in NPR with my amazing mentee Holden!
That's why she invented the SkoBot. It's a customizable toy robot designed to get Indigenous children excited to learn their languages.
"I can say 'Hey SkoBot, what is bear?' And it will say, 'Bear is makwa, makwa,' and it'll repeat it, right?'"
