Description
The process of exploring other countries in distant continents began in the colonial era, and imperialism still persists today in different forms. The development of technology related to artificial intelligence also undergoes these impacts, where there is a colonial form of selecting bodies and minds that needs to change. The objective of this work is to remove the blindfold on an ultra-normalized process of super-exploitation of labor in artificial intelligence in Brazil by US companies, creating a more sought-after profile, in order to embark on a process of decolonizing AI. The methodology used was to generate data through LinkedIn Jobs, analyzing job postings for positions containing the following words: Data Analytics, Data Science, and Machine Learning. The analysis was performed using the ChatGPT integrated with Google Sheets through an Application Programming Interface (API), by using their own tools to expose such practices, we are undertaking a decolonial shift. It was found that the most sought-after professional profile is someone with experience in ML and NLP, a senior with 5 years of experience, responsible for people management and the development of strategies and solutions, with knowledge in Python and SQL, without specific degree requirements as long as there is relevant experience. Therefore, we can define that the decolonial AI movement should be initiated not only in the lines of code but also in the installed production structure, where imperialist states seek to expand their productive capacity with labor from the global south, thereby increasing their profit margins.
