South Africa's AI Revolution
Africa's First AI Factory Arrives in South Africa
Exciting developments are on the horizon for the African tech landscape. The continent is poised to welcome its first artificial intelligence factory, set to be established in South Africa by June 2025.
This ambitious project is the result of a collaboration between Cassava Technologies and NVIDIA. Their objective is to deploy advanced AI infrastructure throughout Africa, starting in South Africa and expanding to Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, and Nigeria. A secure data centre, powered by NVIDIA's GPU-based supercomputers, will deliver AI as a Service (AIaaS) via Cassava's pan-African fibre network.
This initiative will also address the specific needs of sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, finance, and education. Techpoint Africa notes that it is expected to create jobs, stimulate economic growth, and offer comprehensive AI training programs.
The project includes a strong commitment to data sovereignty, ensuring that sensitive information remains within Africa's geographical boundaries.
