Companies, governments and institutions in the Global North -- and even in Westernized spaces in the Global South -- often communicate and think about AI through singular lenses that convey over-the-top optimisms or pessimisms about the future. AI is going to save humanity, as promised by many AI corporations.¹ Alternatively, AI is going to destroy us, with big tech corporations and personalities regularly selling us this fear and the idea that their technological innovation will save us from AI or at least prepare us from AI taking over our lives. In the process of conveying these lenses, minoritized communities are further otherized from technoscientific processes; seen as either incapable of having any answers to everyday living problems that may require technological solutions, or seen as passive consumers of technology and capital exploitation. In this essay, I present an alternative discourse of AI creation: one driven by communities, collaboration, and mutual support.
