This article elucidates the cultural power dynamics of the AI momentum of the 2010s with an examination of a European AI policy agenda developed by a High-Level Expert Group on AI and the European Commission. It investigates a moment of the big data age in which AI as an extra layer of complex data analytics became a fix point of global negotiations between different interests in data and proposes that a choice of cultural framework for the AI momentum is also a choice of data ethics.
