The unfortunate truth is, that the vast majority of African data already flows through US and Chinese companies. AI isn't changing that. However, the bright side is, that African governments have understood, that they can change it through open-source and digital sovereignty.

@kdkorte
Of course "Ubuntu" is a zulu word.
I am told the term roughly translates to "humanity towards others," "humaneness," or the proverb "I am because we are"

Purhaps #digitalsovereignty can bring some humaness to the world.

@Mediocreman Let's hope so.
At least over the past decade, AI, Cloud, and social media clearly show that a bit more humanity is surely needed in tech.

Admittedly, Open Source, with its tendency toward god-like, narcissistic leaders, is certainly a good place to start adding "humanity towards others."
