DeepMind researchers propose rebuilding AI industry on a base of anticolonialism

"They further argue that inequities like racial capitalism, class inequality, and heteronormative patriarchy have roots in colonialism and that we need to recognize these power dynamics when designing AI systems to avoid perpetuating such harms."

When has building a scientific discipline on politics worked well? Reading the article, I think the researchers should spend more time on their technical work and less on cultural Marxism. If I were Google I would wonder about their productivity.
