- AI is ushering in a new era of colonialism
Critics argue AI perpetuates stereotypes and erases cultural nuances for Indigenous groups and people of color by relying on data from Western writers, particularly white men. They describe this data collection as a new form of colonialism, where AI companies profit from marginalized groups without consent or accuracy verification. Examples include AI models flattening regional diversity in cuisines like Indian food.
