President Miguel Díaz-Canel urged the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in favor of the causes of the peoples, in the face of the purposes of capitalist hegemonic powers to perpetuate their domination.
In dialogue with a representation of the nearly 400 participants from 47 countries in the recently concluded Patria Colloquium, he said that this technology must become an ideological battlefield for justice.
We are not talking about just another tool, it is the threshold of a new paradigm that will have a real influence on the human, political, economic and social, he pointed out in the contact made on March 19 and broadcast this day on national television.
In the podcast Desde la Presidencia, also released on Youtube, the president warned that, like any technological revolution, the use of AI is not neutral, and behind every algorithm, system, training process, there is a power struggle.
The same people who yesterday colonized territories and today plunder resources, seek to control our world with artificial intelligence to impose their domination, he said.
He pointed out that the global South must come together to create common frameworks, alliances of countries, in order to democratize AI with principles of participation, transparency, justice, anti-imperialism, with culture, science and ideas.
It must be our tool of decolonization to map inequalities, democratize knowledge and organize global resistance, he said.
He pointed out that this is not a new struggle, “it is the same old battle against the empire using other weapons, and we have already reached a point where the debate is not whether we are going to use it or not, the debate once again is how we appropriate it and how we make it ours.”
At the meeting, the head of state reiterated the denunciation of the media campaign facing this Caribbean nation, which, he said, has as its focus of attention today the attempt to discredit the work of the Cuban medical brigades abroad.
Such health collaboration is an expression of the principles of the Revolution, “which are Martí principles, which are Fidelista principles, and they are principles that reflect the best of our Cuban people,” he said.
In this sense, Díaz-Canel urged to turn the Patria colloquium into an integrated platform for emancipation and against cultural colonization.
It is up to us to decide, and it is a historic responsibility, whether we are going to allow AI to be a weapon of the powerful or a bridge to a world where technology liberates and does not enslave, he said.
