Bandung Circuits
Named after the 1955 conference that declared the right of formerly colonised nations to chart their own course, the Bandung Circuit applies that same principle to knowledge production — building AI research tools that serve scholars and movements in the Global South. Here you will find the theoretical foundations behind this work, perspectives from researchers using it in practice, step-by-step guides to get started, and the research reports that demonstrate what happens when rigorous scholarship meets AI infrastructure designed for the needs of the South.
Foundations
Currents
Perspectives from researchers, scholars, and practitioners — on how new computational methods are changing what social science research can ask and answer.
Hallucination Is a Property of Deployment, Not of Language Models
Hallucination is not a defect. It is the predictable output of a training regime built to reward fluency over accuracy. The fix is not a better model. It is a different architecture.
A Systematic Method for Controlling AI Writing Style
Style is a specification, not a preference. A seven-layer stylistics framework turns “write like this” into a repeatable engineering process.
Words Made Real — An Epistemology of Entering Unfamiliar Disciplinary Domains
The fundamental obstacle to entering an unfamiliar domain is not skill — it is language. Master the vocabulary, and in the age of LLMs, what can be spoken can be executed.
Reports
Full-length cross-disciplinary research produced using AI-assisted methods — where the analytical depth made possible by new tools meets the political questions that matter.
BRICS Digital Sovereignty Index Report
This report applies the Digital Sovereignty Index framework to assess digital sovereignty capabilities across BRICS members, highlighting diverse growth paths and shared hurdles in technology, infrastructure, policy and resources.
IARAA: A Popular Artificial Intelligence for Agroecology
Born from the struggle of popular movements, IARAA is an interactive chat platform that democratises access to agroecological knowledge, created to serve the mass dissemination of agroecology.
The 80th Anniversary of the Victory in the World Anti-Fascist War
As we commemorate eighty years since the people’s victory in the World Anti-Fascist War, we must remember who truly saved humanity – and honour their sacrifice with the truth.
