AI is a new technological frontier that has the potential to further artistic innovation in many respects. It is also an unregulated world that, if left unchecked, can exacerbate existing risks of cultural harm to First Nations artists and communities.
Co-facilitated by NAVA and Shevaun Wright, artist and solicitor at Terri Janke and Company, this session delves into the intersection of AI and Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP). We’ll explore how AI art projects engage with traditional knowledge and ICIP, the potential for exploitation of ICIP by AI, and good practice protocols for appropriate AI use that respects ICIP rights.
45 mins + question time.
The session will be recorded and made publicly available.

NAVA Talks AI is a collaborative series of good practice conversations on the use and impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on work and practice in visual arts, craft and design. While AI presents a world of creative and supportive potential for artists and arts workers, it also poses significant challenges regarding copyright, consent, creative/cultural autonomy, Indigenous sovereignty and labour. Artists, arts workers and organisations must be central to these conversations to navigate the evolving landscape.
In May, we welcome you to join three online sessions where industry experts will tackle legal and ethical tensions at the intersection of AI and arts practice. Explore the potential and risks of generative AI in areas like Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP), copyright and Intellectual property (IP), and artists’ work and livelihoods. These sessions will offer a space for discussing good practice approaches to protect artists’ rights and ensure adequate compensation.
NAVA Talks AI will also assist in informing NAVA’s ongoing advocacy work in the AI space.
Participation is free. Register for each session to join the conversation.
