What if machine intelligence didn’t just sound balanced but actually re-learned the world from the roots up? We sit down with tech activist and creator of Justice AI GPT, Christian Ortiz, to explore how a decolonial framework can detect, deconstruct, and correct bias at its source—by redefining what counts as knowledge and who gets to author it.
Christian breaks down the DIA approach, a model-agnostic system that strips away Western defaults and centers the global majority through sovereign datasets, indigenous archives, oral histories, and multilingual sources. Instead of smoothing outputs, this method interrogates inputs and assumptions, reframing questions like “Why is Africa poor?” to expose the living structures of extraction and power that shape economies today. We also get practical on privacy and safety: Justice AI GPT avoids training the host model, keeps user chats inaccessible to the developer, and meets enterprise-level security expectations so organizations and learners can engage without fear.
Beyond architecture, we dig into governance and validation: intersectional harm testing, community panels, and continuous bias drift monitoring that give elders, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and indigenous leaders real decision-making power. The conversation reaches education, healthcare, and policy with clear use cases—students co-training models with community knowledge, diagnostics that stop misreading Black and Indigenous bodies, and systems that flag policies reproducing oppression before harm scales. Christian shares his lineage, why authorship matters, and how collective liberation can serve everyone, including communities whose ancestral wisdom was erased.
