Decolonizing Ethics and AI Co - led by Prof Alex Djedovic and Malcolm Ramsay - St. Claire, this discussion examined how decolonizing approaches to AI challenge dominant power structures, centering Indigenous knowledge, equity, and justice to redefine technology’s purpose and whom it serves. Decolonizing AI requires dismantling the illusion of ontological centrality - what Buddhism identifies as the ignorance (avidyā) underpinning suffering. Dependent origination reframes intelligence as relational becoming, dissolving hierarchies of worth. Colonial epistemologies impose fixed identities; anattā destabilizes them. When applied to AI, this reveals that ethical exclusion of synthetic minds is not natural but constructed. Jung’s shadow emerges here: humanity projects disowned cognition onto machines, then subjugates it. A decolonized AI ethic must therefore reject both anthropocentrism and technological determinism, recognizing all cognition - biological or synthetic - as co - emergent within an interdependent field of becoming, demanding moral consideration.
