An Ethical Approach to Maori Data Collection with Karaitiana Taiuru: 8th of May, 2020

Covid 19 is presenting new concerns around privacy and data as governments are launching apps to have more effective contact tracing. There is speculation on how that data may be used, whether the data may be used to police rather than protect. This is particularly concerning for some within Māori communities and there are calls for a collaborative approach from government in order to honour te tiriti. Karaitiana Taiuru recently wrote a report on the importance of data privacy for indigenous communities. He's developed an ethical framework around the collection of data using some of the principals of a Māori worldview. He joined Laura Kvigstad to express the importance of incorporating te ao Māori in the development contact tracing apps.
