Recent reports indicate that African companies are gradually reducing their dependence on American technology in the field of artificial intelligence. Although Chinese AI products enter the market with price advantages, African companies value their independence and adaptability more. Data shows that local companies prefer customized solutions provided by China rather than simply pursuing low prices. This trend reflects the growing demand for self-sufficient and controllable technologies in the African market, and also indicates that the global tech landscape is undergoing profound changes.
African companies are increasingly adopting Chinese large models instead of copying the US “campaigning” strategy. Local companies such as Curacel in Nigeria, EverseTech in Kenya, and Sunflower in Uganda have chosen Chinese models like Zhipu AI and Tongyi Qianwen due to lower costs, comparable performance, or local language advantages. Some companies also utilize the open-source nature of Chinese models to store sensitive data locally. Despite attempts by the US to pressure through the “Silicon Valley Peace” alliance, African companies insist on choosing technology sources based on actual needs and are reluctant to get involved in factional conflicts.
