A pluralistic view on AI ethics: perspectives from Buen Vivir

Abstract Cosmovisions of the Global South need to find a place in AI regulation, dominated by the Global North, to contextualize AI and to foster pluralistic global ethical AI. The worldwide UNESCO recommendation for the ethics of AI incorporates flourishing of all life, but still takes a human centric/rights approach. Indigenous Buen Vivir fosters circular, biocentric, participatory, thinking focusing on equality, integrality of life and rights of Nature.
