"American tech giants have increased spending on artificial intelligence tools designed to resolve some of the world’s most pressing problems.

Since 2020, Google has spent $200 million on AI-driven social projects worldwide to combat wildfires, hunger, and public health emergencies, according to Leslie Yeh, director of scientific progress at Google.org, the company’s charitable arm.

Most recently, in July, Google opened an AI Community Center in Ghana to support local innovation, and announced a $37 million investment in social impact projects under the catch-all label “AI for Good” across Africa.

Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Apple are funding similar projects, aligning themselves with a growing trend in which governments, global organizations, and private tech companies promote AI for public good — a push that aims to normalize the technology and soften the anxieties surrounding it.

Regional AI experts and industry leaders, however, urge caution, saying Africa could become a testing ground for AI models and a vast source of data collection in the U.S.-China tech rivalry, making the continent dependent on foreign-owned systems."

Big Tech’s “AI for good” spending increases in Africa. So does skepticism

While Google, Microsoft, and Meta provide AI for social good, some advocates say projects exploit the continent for data, erode local control.

How AI integration is boosting dairy farms and value chains across Africa

AI is transforming Africa’s dairy sector by optimizing logistics, enhancing traceability, and improving animal health monitoring. With adoption by major players like Nestlé and Arla, AI is helping scale smallholder operations and drive sustainability across the value chain.
