*Can AI truly be decolonized? A Global South Perspective*

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly weaponized against marginalized
communities, deepening the digital divide and perpetuating biases and
dehumanization. For Palestinians, AI image generators reinforce harmful
stereotypes, erase cultural histories, and normalize the violence of
genocide. Featuring the work of Palestinian-Iraqi American artist *Ameera
Kawash*, this talk explores whether AI and other networked technologies can
help resist cultural erasure and digital dehumanization, or if they are
inherently tied to hegemony and exploitation.
