Decoloniality in the Age of AI

As an academic and enthusiast of decoloniality in the age of AI, I wholeheartedly endorse Hamid H. Kazeroony's book - ‘Decoloniality in the Age of AI’, as a groundbreaking contribution to both scholarship and practice. This book masterfully navigates the complex intersections of colonial legacies, artificial intelligence, and decolonial practices, offering a compelling and urgent call to rethink the technological systems that shape our world. Kazeroony's voice resonates with a rare clarity, weaving together theoretical rigor and actionable insights that speak directly to academics, practitioners, and leaders committed to justice and equity in an increasingly digitalized global landscape. This book is a must read as it positions AI as a site of critique and a potential catalyst for decolonial transformation. Bridging theoretical inquiry with practical application, it provides a valuable resource for graduate students, academics, and leaders striving to create a just society and responsible governance.
