> What, are the pictures and videos of people from the global south somehow not good enough to train AI due to their economic situation?
I don't make the rules, in fact if you are seriously wondering what use 'darker' people's data have had with AI training look no further than the surveillance based platforms that are responsible for tons of false incarcerations of mainly black US citizens [0].
I'm not sure if it's going to change for the plight of the 'Global South's' data either. It's not that I think it's inherently prejudiced, either; it's more like it's optimized to be greedy in order to extract as much value as it possibly can from the current system at all costs.
People need to stop smoking hopium and thinking that this is going to usher some sort of egalitarian renaissance, this is business as usual by the mega corps that bring you this tech.
