there are clear warnings about what happens when questions of 
accountability, harm and care are ignored. As one participant told us, 
AI comes with “no accountability, no checks and balances, no 
responsibility”.

Artificial intelligence is increasingly embedded in everyday life in 
Australia, shaping communication, services, and relationships. This 
report presents findings from the Relational Futures project, an 
Indigenous led study examining how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander 
peoples are encountering and responding to AI, including generative 
systems, automated decision-making tools, and AI companions. The 
research draws on a mixed methods approach combining an online survey 
with 36 respondents and yarning circles with 22 participants, providing 
both broad and in-depth insight into Indigenous experiences of AI across 
community and professional contexts. This report presents the initial 
findings as the project continues.
