"An introduction to AI being delivered by someone who is empathetic, to the diversity of participants, providing a historical context of where AI all began. The discussions around 'safety' of cultural Ancestral knowledge unique to ethnic and indigenous communities, the safe guarding of such IP to ensure authenticity was great."

"Enjoyed Lautalie's pace, awareness and knowledge of her presentation, sharing of her journey and how she's navigated all her experiences resulting in where she is and what she is today. Relevant, articulate and well prepared."

"Greater understanding, excited about trying different things with AI, adding in my CV for covering letters, using prompts like 'explain it to a 10 year old and with a pacific world view focus', trying text to image and video, text to task."

“It was great to have someone that looked like us and could relate to in terms of culture and understanding.”
