    No. It reinforces the interpretation of whoever trained the model. Those people don’t have to be western.

      It’s not just about individual people, it’s about where money and power is located. Where are the top universities located? In which sphere do the biggest, wealthiest and most powerful corporations and organisations operate? Western bias permeates every fabric of modern society because of how dominant Western culture has been throughout history in terms of money and power. It inevitably filters through to AI, because the data being used to train it is just a reflection of what is available. That happens to be data pulled from, or narrated by, Western culture.
