PSALM Chapter 121 !

QUELLE PLACE POUR LES AFRICAINS DANS LES MINES ?

Jusque-là, ils étaient des spectateurs de l’exploitation de leurs immenses richesses minières.

Ils ont décidé de prendre, sans complexe, leur place à table, d’être des acteurs de l’industrie minière tenue par les grandes firmes internationales.

I revisited the classic paper The Weirdest People in the World? by Henrich, Heine, and Norenzayan, and I think its message is even more important in the age of AI.

The paper makes a powerful point: much of what we know about “human behavior” in psychology comes from a very narrow group of people: Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD)societies. In many cases, the participants are American university students.

The problem is that these groups are not always representative of humanity. In fact, the paper shows that WEIRD people are often outliers in areas such as perception, fairness, cooperation, moral reasoning, self-concept, and analytic thinking.

This matters deeply for AI.

AI systems are trained on human data, but whose human data?

If the data overrepresents certain languages, cultures, values, communication styles, and ways of thinking, then AI systems may quietly reproduce a narrow view of humanity while presenting it as universal.

This is why AI literacy cannot be only about prompts, tools, and productivity. It also has to be about culture, representation, bias, and power.

When an AI system gives us an answer, we should ask:

Whose knowledge is centered?
Whose language is normalized?
Whose values are treated as default?
Whose ways of thinking are missing?

The lesson from this paper is simple: we should be careful when turning a narrow sample into a universal claim.

And in the age of AI, that warning becomes even more urgent.

As sea levels rise along Indonesia’s coastline, areas in Java are sinking by 1.15 metres a year. The island’s subsidence is partly the legacy of centuries of exploitation.
