HAI Weekly Seminar with Sabelo Mhlambi

Read Sabelo's Paper "From Rationality to Relationality"

Read the AI Decolonial Manyfesto referenced in Sabelo's talk

"Decolonizing AI" is a critique and an emerging movement both in the West and Non-Western world amongst AI researchers, activists, and practitioners. While its proponents have identified parallels between historical colonialism and the colonial-like scale and extractive nature of AI-related technologies developed by big tech companies, can a decolonial framing address broader socio-economic issues of power and agency within the creation and use of AI? This talk will explore the varying views on "decolonizing" AI and will build upon work from the “AI Decolonial Manyfesto” collaborative effort (https://manyfesto.ai).
