+ In one sentence, tell us about your idea.

A nonprofit dedicated to making sure photographs of indigenous people are used on the internet appropriately from a cultural perspective

+ My ideal collaborative partner or partners would be...?

This would be lead by the indigenous tourism community. I would be interested in hearing also from anyone who has seen facial recognition technology for good as we know it has problematic issues around race but could be a good enforcement tool to protect images of indigenous people on the internet.

+ What is it about your idea that makes you feel good?

Helping enforce cultural protocols across the internet

+ What makes your idea innovative? Why has no one ever done it before?

Facial recognition technology can be used for nefarious purposes and so it would have to be a very delicately handled endeavor.

+ Who will benefit the most from your idea?

Those wishing for images /video of themselves or their relatives /ancestors to be used how they want them to be used online

+ Ideally, when would you launch this idea?

In a few months

+ Indicate which UN goals your idea relates to?

Peace and Justice Strong Institutions; Reduced Inequality

+ At Sigmund, we are interested in ideas at the intersection of People, Planet, and Profit. How does your idea relate to these three categories?

This would need to be structured as a not for profit because it should be a service to others and not a moneymaking endeavor
