Pacific‑led AI, ethical data, and community‑powered tech
Inati Labs helps communities and organisations build the future responsibly — from AI literacy and governance to culturally‑grounded digital products. Rooted in Pacific values. Built for everyone.
AI Literacy
Practical programmes that demystify AI for youth, elders, and teams — tools, safety, and real use cases.
Data Governance
Policy, controls, lineage and stewardship — turning good intent into trustworthy data practice.
Cultural Tech
Projects that preserve language, knowledge, and identity — built with communities, not on them.
What we focus on
Three pillars guide our work across Aotearoa and the Pacific.
Community AI
Hands‑on workshops and tools that lift confidence, creativity, and safety with AI.
Responsible Systems
From governance frameworks to audits and training — we embed ethics into delivery.
Sustainable Infra
Exploring solar‑powered micro‑servers and efficient models for resilient island tech.
Why “Inati”?
In Tokelau, “Inati” is the practice of fair sharing — everyone has a role and receives a share.
We bring that principle to technology: share knowledge, build capacity, and ensure benefits reach the whole community. Our work blends technical depth with cultural intelligence, led by Pacific values of care, reciprocity, and stewardship.
