# AI must be built with Indigenous Knowledges, not against them

> Most AI ethics coverage stays abstract, this one gets concrete by pointing to actual frameworks, CARE and OCAP principles, that would force co-design instead of treating a community as a data source to be mined and thanked in a footnote. The double edge here is real, the same models that can keep a dying language alive can just as easily launder someone else's knowledge into a dataset with no attribution. Worth reading if you build anything that touches cultural or linguistic data, the paper is basically a checklist for not being the extractive party.
