AfrofeminasGPT: A decolonial and anti-racist AI
"When ChatGPT is asked to define racism, it answers, it is not just an attitude, but a power and exclusion structure across the social, economic, cultural and political. AfrofeminasGPT, on the other hand, defines it as a power structure that builds a hierarchy of human beings based on supposed racial differences, to legitimize domination, exclusion and dehumanization. It operates in language, images, bodies, laws, economics, aesthetics, and memory. And it is maintained through silence, ignorance, denial and the symbolic reproduction of stereotypes."
"To arrive at this answer, AfrofeminasGPT resorts to thinkers such as bell hooks, Kimberle Crenshaw and Stuart Hall. Released at the end of October, it is the brainchild of Antoinette Torres Soler. In 2022, the US company OpenAI presented the Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (GPT), an artificial intelligence model designed to understand and also generate natural text, one capable of conversing, writing, translating and reasoning, all while adapting to the style or purpose required."
"Since then, its most popular version, ChatGPT, has been in the spotlight for reproducing racial bias. Research published in scientific journals such as Nature and The Lancet has warned that these systems make biased judgments regarding groups such as African-Americans. No one explains how useful this can be for activism, says Torres, who set out to build an anti-racist, ethical and decolonial AI model in May."

OpenAI released GPT in 2022 as a generative language model, and ChatGPT has faced criticism and research warnings about reproducing racial bias. Antoinette Torres Soler launched AfrofeminasGPT as an anti-racist, ethical, decolonial AI grounded in over a decade of activism and personal experience as a female immigrant of African descent.
