"AI is built on the collective knowledge of humankind."
No. Nononononono. It is not built on _knowledge_, it it built on _data_. And not everyone's experiences are available as data, many communities are included. Also: "Collective" implies some sort of collaboration and shared activity. But "AI" is just accumulation by a few powerful.
So No. It's not collective but extractive, not knowledge but data, not humankind but the hegemonic western view. Everything in that statement is wrong.

@tante "It is not built on _knowledge_, it it built on _data_." Oh, it's so much worse than that. It's not built on data, it's built on *text*. Including massive amounts of intentional fiction (lots of paranormal romance), unintentional fiction (all those flat earthers and young earth creationists), racism and trolling (4chan!), and psychosis creations (Time Cube ftw!).
Can't tell you how thrilled I am that my robot surgeon might've been trained on Dr. Bronner's soap bottle text.
