UAE Plans to Invest $1 Billion in African AI Infrastructure
The United Arab Emirates plans to invest $1 billion to expand artificial intelligence infrastructure and services across Africa, bolstering its influence on a continent that’s lagged behind the rest of the world in adopting the technology.
The investment will help develop digital infrastructure, improve government services and enhance productivity, Saeed bin Mubarak Al Hajeri, UAE minister of state at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said at the Group of 20 summit in Johannesburg on Saturday.
