Hawkes Bay startup MahiAI is offering companies utilizing AI, tikanga guidance on te ao Maori content. Founded earlier this year, the business works alongside companies generating AI content to check how that content aligns with tikanga. MahiAI’s founder, Atarau Hamilton had noticed incorrect information, hallucinated content, and generic material that often misrepresented or ignored Māori perspectives, being produced by AI generators, such as ChatGPT.
He declares they don’t want people to stop utilizing AI – rather to support them ensure their content is accurate and appropriate. Atarau Hamilton joins Kathryn, along with Mahi AI Kaiārahi, Grace Ropitini.
