Justice A.I. - The Decolonization of Artificial Intelligence
Christian Ortiz, also known as ZacaTechO, is an Afro-Indigenous, neurodivergent visionary whose work fuses ancestral knowledge with transformative technology, and he’s joining us to talk about his groundbreaking project Justice A.I. As the founder, CEO, and developer behind Justice A.I. and the Decolonial Intelligence Algorithmic (DIA) Framework, Christian has created a model that directly confronts and resolves AI bias at its root, something governments and tech giants have long failed to do. Born in Hollywood and raised between New Jersey and the Deep South, his lived experience of structural violence and radical awakening deeply informs his work, which is grounded in the traditions of the Chichimeca people of Zacatecas, the Borikén of Puerto Rico, and African lineages. This conversation explores what it means to decolonize technology, the origins of Justice A.I., and how Christian is building tools for liberation rather than control.
