BUSINESS CONCEPT #311 - INDIGENOUS AI CONSULTANCY

A specialised firm training Large Language Models (LLMs) on indigenous datasets using the Kaitiakitanga License framework to prevent digital colonialism.


This consultancy provides high-fidelity cultural AI services by training and fine-tuning models on curated indigenous dataset. We serve global tech firms, government agencies, and Iwi organisations, ensuring that AI applications respect indigenous intellectual property through the operationalisation of a Kaitiakitanga License.

The Problem: Current AI models often "hallucinate" or misinterpret indigenous knowledge because they are trained on scraped, low-fidelity data without cultural context—an act defined in our research as "Digital Colonialism".

The Solution: We provide a "Linguistic Hard Fork" for the digital age by training models on sovereign, high-quality datasets that are governed by the people they represent. This ensures AI outputs are culturally accurate, ethically sourced, and negentropic.
