This study examines shifting patterns in global academic knowledge production through the lens of world-systems theory, focusing on the role of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in reshaping epistemic hierarchies. Drawing on longitudinal bibliometric data (1996–2023), it analyses publication volumes, international collaborations and open access trends across core (U.S., U.K.), semi-peripheral and peripheral regions, with special attention to China’s emergence as a leading scientific producer. The paper highlights a growing divergence in AI infrastructure and access: Western scholars increasingly rely on open tools like ChatGPT, while China’s closed ecosystem is governed by distinct political and epistemic norms. These
developments may entrench parallel scientific systems, exacerbating inequalities in visibility, legitimacy and collaboration. As AI becomes a central driver of research
practices, this paper argues for inclusive, interoperable knowledge infrastructures to avoid deepening global academic fragmentation. The findings offer a critical perspective on the geopolitics of knowledge in the digital age.

This article examines the way in which hijacked victimhood was used to evade accountability and preserve the power of Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio at three congressional hearings. To achieve its goals, the study used the concept of indexicals to identify linguistic forms that signal a repurposing of the traditional concept of victimhood. The study found five discursive devices of victimhood employed to demonise critics, deflect their criticism, and elicit public sympathy and support. Through these discursive strategies, the vice president avoided critical scrutiny of her budget during the hearings, which could have caused her legal difficulties. She launched personal attacks against her opponents through her answers, a tactic
that appears in populist rhetoric. The results highlight the need for critical vigilance and analysis of political communication in the Philippines to ensure that concepts traditionally associated with campaigns for justice for actual victims of harm are not reconfigured to serve partisan purposes.
