Māori AI technology leader

Phil Kupenga (Ngāti Porou, Te Whānau-ā-Apanui) helps people, organisations and communities thrive in an AI-enabled future.

More about Phil
AI should empower people, not replace them.

The organisations that thrive won’t be the ones with the biggest AI budgets — they’ll be the ones that build capability, keep people at the centre and use technology responsibly.
