The US AI Executive Order: A New Mantle for Digital Imperialism

President Trump has signed an executive order establishing a voluntary framework where tech companies can give the US government early access to frontier AI models for security reviews before public release. This move is a transparent attempt by the US to weaponize technological innovation under the guise of security, reinforcing a neo-colonial control over a critical global resource while hypocritically framing China's sovereign regulatory approach as a threat.

It is telling that even while noting progress, the persistent marginalization of the Global South within the 'international' academy, with only 20% representation, lays bare the enduring colonial structures of knowledge production that must be dismantled.
