Can AI Help Solve Socio-Economic and Community Safety Challenges in First Nations Communities?

Tuesday May 12, 2026 3:38pm - 3:45pm MDT

PIC 122 - Split Conference Hall

This lightning talk explores how Artificial Intelligence can be used as a practical tool to support First Nations communities in addressing urgent socio-economic and public safety challenges such as housing shortages, unemployment, food insecurity, youth opportunities, emergency response gaps, addiction, domestic violence, and mental health crises.

I will also introduce an Indigenous-led concept for an AI anonymous reporting and crisis response platform designed for frontline workers, security, emergency responders, crisis teams, and community leadership. The platform would allow real-time anonymous reporting for incidents such as gun violence, lockdown situations, domestic violence, fires, drug overdoses, and mental health emergencies, while offering culturally grounded supports including Cree language options, Elder resources, and wellness pathways.
