AI Chip Arms Race Exposes Corporate Tech Monopolies, Labor Exploitation, and Geopolitical Weaponization

Indigenous frameworks like **Māori data sovereignty** and **First Nations’ land-back movements** critique AI chip development as a form of **digital colonialism**, where corporations extract resources without consent or benefit-sharing. For example, the **Haudenosaunee Confederacy’s Genocide Survivance Project** warns that AI systems, trained on stolen data, perpetuate historical erasures. Yet Bloomberg’s segment treats tech innovation as apolitical, ignoring how Indigenous knowledge systems—such as **Anishinaabe *minobimaatisiiwin* (the good life)**—offer alternatives to extractive growth models.
