New Branding
You may have noticed our new logo popping up online. We were very excited when Supermoon, a globally recognised branding agency with a strong Kiwi link, approached us with a gratis offer we couldn’t refuse! They provided us with four equally good options which we presented to our Kahui Māori and a subset of our Executive Council. Their decision was unanimous and we look forward to sharing the brand story in the coming weeks
Exciting times ahead!
We have had three key working groups running this year, each of which are publishing outputs. Each of our groups set out to provide the Aotearoa New Zealand context for AI, how we are thinking about it, using it and how to do so responsibly.
Thanks to all the participants who have contributed their time and expertise, especially our Chairs Matt Ensor, Matt Lythe and Gabriela Mazorra de Cos.
