Sumario:The article explores the alignment of bioethics and decolonial perspectives with the premises ‘responsible artificial intelligence' (RAI). It proposes a careful examination of the implicit conflicts in terms such as ‘decoloniality' and ‘territories of knowledge’. The article presents the similarities between the debates on biopolitics, necropolitics, and bioethics, associating them with the possible impacts of artificial intelligence (AI). Given the inevitable reach of AI in all spheres of society, the decolonial perspective explains how monoculture reinforces epistemic ideas with oppressive potential on minorities and groups that have been targeted from colonial practices to the present day. When presenting the principles of RAI, the article highlights the risk of embracing, without the necessary critical thinking, the formal rules imported from the Global North as “THE” solution to mitigate the possible impacts of AI, when educational and communication actions within the culture become necessary, and they will only be possible if RAI becomes Slow AI.
