We just published a new article from Kush Varshney on Decolonial AI Alignment. He argues that LLMs need not engage in a coloniality of knowledge by treating one culture's ethics or moral philosophy (usually Western) as universally correct.

HCAI Podcast Episode 12 - Democratizing AI with Mark Coeckelberg | Human-centered AI @ GU

In this episode, we talk to Mark Coeckelbergh, Professor of Philosophy of Technology and Media at the University of Vienna, about the evolving landscape of AI and its implications for society. Mark brings a unique perspective, emphasizing the necessity of embedding ethical values into AI development from the outset to ensure the technology’s responsible use aligns with both human and non-human needs. He challenges the conventional human-centered AI narrative, advocating for a more inclusive approach that considers the ecological and broader impacts of AI beyond just human interactions.
