Vortrag im Rahmen der 8. Promovierendenkonferenz Umwelt und Recht (ProKUR) für Promovierende im Öffentlichen Recht mit Umweltbezug an der Universität Köln.

This symposium seeks to explore the possibilities and contradictions surrounding AI. It brings together decolonial feminist perspectives and research on artificial intelligence and opens a space for critical reflection on living with and thinking about ethical futures in relation to AI.

In this presentation, I engage with the African body that lands on European beaches via the Mediterranean sea, dead by exhaustion from crossing the ocean or dead as a consequence of boarding a vessel, which has capsized because it was not equipped to carry the embodied subject identities of Africans leaving the continent to seek refuge on the European continent: the continent of the European coloniser who had usurped African land and people, kidnapped African labour starting in the fifteenth century whilst simultaneously exploiting and extracting raw materials to develop its wealth in an ailing, starving, and disease infested Europe.
