"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 excluded. 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 cherry on top: the AI isn't AI either.
So:«The AI (which it isn't, it's just a Large Language Model) is built (which it isn't, it's trained) on the collective (which it isn't, it's extractive) knowledge (which it isn't, it's data) of humankind (not all of it, just the colonialists)»
