This document argues that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not a monolithic concept but rather a category that requires nuanced ethical consideration. It separates AI into three distinct questions: its compatibility with degrowth ethics, its current large-scale industrial implementation, and the potential for decentralized, self-governing models. The critique focuses on the industrial aspect, suggesting that local, decentralized AI models can still be viable if designed with anti-centralization mechanisms from the outset. Ultimately, the document posits that institutional decisions made now will determine whether AI infrastructure becomes a shared resource or remains concentrated, rather than being solely dictated by the technology itself.
