"The conventional wisdom says AI is a scale game. Bigger models, bigger budgets, bigger compute clusters. Major tech companies are collectively spending hundreds of billions of dollars on infrastructure."
"Research suggests that U.S. and Chinese companies operate the vast majority of the AI data centers that businesses and institutions worldwide depend on. Africa and South America have almost no AI computing hubs."
Innovative AI work is emerging from unexpected regions, particularly southern India, where small-scale projects are preserving languages without written scripts. The prevailing belief that AI success relies solely on large-scale investments and infrastructure is being challenged. Research indicates that a significant concentration of AI resources exists in the U.S. and China, leaving regions like Africa and South America with minimal AI capabilities. This structural disparity highlights the need for a broader understanding of technology diffusion across different societies.
