🤔 "Who defines AI, and whose interests does it serve?" That was the question Dr Margaret Mitchell ( @mmitchell_ai), Chief Ethics Scientist at @huggingface, put to #DLI2026# this morning at @pau_nigeria. In a sharp keynote, she interrogated the narratives driving modern AI: how the field's direction sits with a small set of global actors, and why that concentration risks prioritising power and market position over measurable human benefit. Her charge to the community was to build for inclusivity, accountability, and real impact instead. The talk opened into a rich fireside chat moderated by Raesetje Sefala @bonjora of the Distributed AI Research Institute (DAIR)(@dair_ai), digging into what genuine AI sovereignty looks like: systems that serve local communities rather than centralising global power. #DLI2026# #ÌmọWa# #SovereignIntelligence#
