Indigenous Aeta communities in the Philippines are campaigning to protect ancestral lands from a large technology hub linked to American AI ambitions, according to reporting by Grist. Critics warn the development could displace communities and damage the environment, while supporters present it as economic and technological investment. The clash has drawn attention to how the global AI build-out affects Indigenous land rights abroad.
