One point I have raised earlier: If one is worried about neocolonialism, reducing the risk from powerful technology might look like a better option. It is clear that the global south is bearing a disproportionate burden from fossil fuel burning by rich nations. Similarly, misuse or accidents in nuclear, biotechnology and/​or AI might also cause damage to people who had little say in how these technologies were being rolled out. Especially preventing nuclear winter seems like something that would disproportionately affect poor people, but I think AI Safety and Biosecurity are likely candidates for lowering the risk of perpetuating colonial dynamics as well.
