The Al era is a critical juncture.
The knowledge embedded in Al systems will shape what future generations understand as truth, culture, and history. If we allow Al to be built only on the over-represented knowledge of the Global North - we are cementing the colonial epistemtic order in silicon. Open culture, decolonial practice, and community-led Al governance are not optional extras. They are the conditions for a just digital future.
