Concepts the South coins for itself
Imported vocabulary frames imported priorities. Across the AI Term of the Day series, AIEONME coins original governance concepts and gives each one a canonical, citable definition here.
Extractivismo Computacional
“Imported footprint, exported benefit.”
Extractivismo Computacional (Computational Extractivism) names the pattern by which the environmental and material costs of training and running frontier AI systems are imported by the Global South, while the economic and capability benefits are exported to the regions that own the models. The footprint is local; the benefit is not.
