Artificial intelligence is built upon data — but also upon preassumptions and theoretical frameworks grounded in the paradigm of Western modern history.

Most AI systems today are shaped predominantly by dominant Western perspectives:

What counts as “rational,” “normal,” “healthy,” “moral,” or “valuable”  is often disconnected from, or even incompatible with, marginalized paradigms.

However, many groups—referred to as protected characteristics in Meta’s terminology—such as Indigenous peoples, racialized communities, neurodivergent individuals, migrants, and others, hold radically different ways of conceiving and perceiving themselves, others, and the world.
These worldviews are not merely underrepresented; they are structurally excluded.
As a result, AI systems risk reproducing the very injustices they claim to address—only faster and on a larger scale.
For example, imagine a person from a non-Western paradigm asking an AI chatbot for guidance on family, relationships, spirituality, mental health, or community matters.
What happens if the advice given is inaccurate, inconsistent with their beliefs, or even subtly harmful?
What if the user’s worldview is misunderstood, or their cultural context ignored?
Who is responsible then? ُhe developer? The interface? The dataset? Philosophers? Or the individual on the receiving end, left alone to navigate a technology never designed with them in mind? 

Such questions are not merely theoretical—they shape the lives of real people. In this project, we confront these and similar questions.

Call for Collaboration
We welcome collaborators from all walks of life—technologists, artists, activists, researchers—
especially those from communities historically excluded from technological design.

Together, we seek to:

This is not a finished product. It is a process.Not a platform, but a provocation.
