Major AI companies like OpenAI and Google are accused of 'digital colonialism' by scraping vast amounts of internet data, including creative works, without consent or compensation to train their AI models. This practice is likened to historical colonial exploitation of land and knowledge. While AI firms cite 'fair use' doctrine, some argue this constitutes data theft. Indigenous communities, drawing parallels to past struggles against colonial land claims, are exploring resistance strategies against this perceived exploitation of digital resources.
