The key takeaway is that the Microsoft AI deal is not about Kenya (or indeed Africa). It is firstly about the US competing with China, and secondly about Microsoft and the UAE firm (G42) leveraging the former concerns and bringing their financial capital and expertise to use Africa to gain access to H100 chips for G42's own domestic purposes.
So what you're saying is that the UAE firm gaining access to chips is a concern? Is this a direct concern or related to undefined measures for securing and protecting significant intellectual property?
Your summary is great but the second point is really just an extension of the first point. The US is doing everything it could to curb China for its own hegemonic position😅😢 Whenever I see US mention the word China I know for a fact that whatever they do is only about curbing China😅. Helping others? BS
@@somethingelse2814No. the coercive and anticompetitive approach of the US is the problem. You have numerous way to protect your intellectual property rights but demanding your partner to cut their business relationship with their existing partner is a coercive action and is limiting their choice of partner.
@@mingyudu469 your statement wasn't clear. Thanks for the clarification. You've made several assumptions that I disagree with regarding the premise. Ignoring those, limiting the partners is a necessary result of ensuring the long-term security of a business/industry. Intellectual property theft/osmosis has proven itself to be a legitimate risk to any stakeholder and should be taken seriously regardless of the entities involved. Particularly if the related parties are essentially a competitor that is not held to the same rules and laws. So your characterization of this being a problem is incorrect. It's more of a necessary obstacle.
@@mingyudu469 I would advise you to try to understand the situation between the US and China and why the US is now playing protectionism. Even some ASEAN countries are about to follow the US trend by increasing tariffs on cheap goods from China (excess capacity).
It’s also no news that China is trying to match or overtake the US as the world's superpower, and because of that, they are trying as much as possible to steal, copy, and go against intellectual property.
It's funny to see how you try to make it look like the Chinese case about intellectual property when they want to steal and make it their own. You don't have to tell me that you like China.
Your words clearly define who you are. Allow the US to do what it thinks is best for the country.
That G42 CEO looks sus. Better not risk it.
Because of his ethnicity?
@@antihypocrisy8978You got me. I judged the book by its cover. But after a little digging it turns out the guy renounced his American citizenship and operates / is affiliated with Chinese companies that are blacklisted by the US Defense Department. So...
It’s really hypocrite, he is American Chinese.
I hope the deal fails so China can supply that technology and get a chance to proliferate their dominance in the region. It would be good for UAE too.
Finally, some good news for Kenyans.
