"The IMF is urging governments to prioritise investment in reliable electricity, affordable broadband, data infrastructure and digital skills to support wider AI adoption."
Let's talk global infrastructure first, then we'll see if the rest is still interesting after the bubble explodes...
BTW: how to cool datacenters in areas with high temps all year long and where access to water is scarce? Good question, right?

IMF pushing AI hard to "help Africa grow faster"... https://www.ipsnews.net/2026/07/africa-can-grow-faster-with-ai-if-it-moves-now/ "For the region, AI’s main promise is not about replacing office workers, but boosting productivity across the economy—helping informal firms manage inventory, enabling farmers to increase yields, and supporting mid-sized firms to transition to formality and export readiness." Yeah, sure... Even injecting a graph about Mobile Money for... no reason... #Africa #AI #IA
