Global AI experts, including Chinasa T. Okolo, criticized Mark Zuckerberg's "AI for everyone" vision in an interview with Rest of World. Okolo argued:
- Overstated Benefits: Meta has grossly overstated the economic benefits of its data centers in Africa.
- Real Risks: Kenya paused a geothermal data center project backed by Microsoft and G42 due to grid constraints; upcoming "AI factories" in South Africa and Nigeria are likely to exacerbate grid stability issues.
