On July 16, 2026, the third phase of the Indigenous AI Pioneers project, jointly organized by Mila and the Public Policy Forum, held a roadshow at Mila. This seven-week project showcased five AI prototypes developed by Indigenous teams, aiming to provide policymakers with tools to address the opportunities and risks associated with artificial intelligence, and to support innovation in areas such as language revitalization, education, data sovereignty, and health. The winning teams will receive residency opportunities to further develop their solutions, including the LandLens land development assessment platform, a dental caries prevention and care system, visual language learning tools, an AI-assisted teaching suite, and DataSov AI.
