Abstract

LSE’s Dr Ruhi Khan explores how the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence, dominated by a few powerful actors in the Global North, is reinforcing global inequalities by extracting data, labour, and resources from the Global South. Framing this imbalance as AI colonialism, she calls for a worldwide shift towards global co-creation – an ethical, inclusive, and locally driven AI that fosters shared innovation and participatory governance. Through this, AI can evolve into a truly transformative force that empowers communities worldwide.
