Does generative AI reinforce tech colonialism by prioritizing Global North perspectives, or can it effectively integrate diverse local knowledge and practices to decenter Anglo-American narratives?

Implications 🡒 Our central hypothesis and project pillars are that humans draw their understanding of the immediate environment, needs, and limitations, leading them to highly adaptable and feasible outcomes. Solutions that represent balanced imagination with constraints of physics and practicality, focusing on function. Human problem-solving often includes cultural adaptability, empathy, and emotional intelligence—qualities that generative AI currently lacks. Meanwhile, generative AI solutions often defy the laws of physics, prioritizing creative and imaginative outputs over practicality. Turns out, it's the age-old debate of form versus function.
