How does this omnipresent AI that is trained on a very limited data set color how we interact with each other around the world? What ways is it reducing our ability to have empathy with people unlike ourselves? What cultures of the world are getting cut off from the internet because we don’t have the data to feed into the systems based on those cultures?
AI colonialism is the term. We are creating all of these advanced technologies based primarily on data drawn from western cultures. And then we are populating developing nations with these technologies where they have to adopt our cultural norms in order to use the technology. It kind of is just a new form of colonialism [and that cultures could be erased].
