Something Artificial Intelligence doesn't change is the need for leaders to bring others with them. Christopher Cormack, Kaapua Smith and I shared a lot about how we bring our values to life in and around Artificial Intelligence, and practical steps for iwi and government.

What if Gross Tamariki Potential was as important to our political parties as GDP? Last week, we ran our second wānanga pounamu at Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira Incorporated - teaching rangatahi to cut, shape, and polish toki pounamu (adzes)

Can someone share this with the 'influencers' on social media currently praising NZF as being all about the everyday Kiwi? I don't wanna mess up my algorithm.
