Innovating Under Constraints: The African AI Ecosystem

The US and China dominate the field of artificial intelligence - between them they’re responsible for 90% of the world’s AI infrastructure. Where does this leave the rest of the world?

We speak to an AI business in Kenya, a country that doesn’t benefit from lots of investment in the sector.

We discuss the difficulties of trying to innovate in Argentina.

And we explore the divide between regions seeing a lot of investment in the industry compared to those that aren’t, and what this could mean for the future.
