AI Without Borders What African, UK, and US Businesses Can Learn From Each Other February Edition
AI Is Global—but Context Matters
While AI technology is borderless, its adoption, regulation, and cultural alignment vary greatly. That’s why businesses working across geographies must learn to adapt and apply AI responsibly and effectively in different contexts.
This month, we explore how small and medium-sized businesses in Africa, the UK, and the US are uniquely approaching AI—and what they can learn from each other.
