“Keyboards are designed for dominant
languages. The keyboards do not come
with the
sp
ellings of indigenous languages,
and since the platforms are in Spanish or
English or in another dominant language,
when I write in my own language the
autocorrect keeps changing my texts.”

A dangerous fallacy is that killer
robots will take the appearance

of web forms automatically
determining if people are eligible

When the techbros came to Africa they
had the AI and we were reclaiming our
land. They said 'Let us play.’
We put on goggles and closed our eyes.
When we opened them we had we
st

clothes, art, architecture and social rules.
The AI erased our land.
