How is Deep Sick trying to enhance its incursion into the African continent? | technology

taken “Deep Sick“A different approach from similar companies artificial intelligence The American company to achieve expansion and spread, and instead of pursuing huge amounts of funding, it decided to go to the African continent and cooperate with its emerging companies, according to a “Bloomberg” report.

Its cooperation with “Huawei” has enabled it to reach many startup companies in the region, as it has “Huawei“It has an overwhelming influence in African countries and cooperates with many private companies and government agencies.

This influence was clearly evident in the meeting conducted by Harrison Lee, Huawei Cloud’s Chief Solutions Engineer for the Sub-Saharan Africa region, with officials from several technology companies at Qhala’s headquarters in Nairobi.

Although Lee was a representative of Huawei in the region, the meeting was about “Deep Sec,” which Lee presented as an ideal and economic solution for startups in Nigeria to enter the artificial intelligence race.

The meeting included a set of clear comparisons between the capabilities of DeepSec and the rest of the Western models, but Lee’s biggest focus was on the distinct pricing model offered by DeepSEC, as he presented companies with several options ranging from free to paid in different ways, and provided solutions to build data centers specific to the model within government agencies if they wished.

While Lee captivated the audience with his continuous talk about the advantages of “Deep Sec” and its importance in the artificial intelligence sector, the strongest testimony in favor of the model came from the company that hosted them itself, “Qala”, specifically its CEO, Shikoh Gitau.

This is because Getao is working on developing a chatbot for her company, and during this trip she spoke with a large number of Western companies such as “Anthropic” and “Cloud.”

Despite the advantages offered by these companies, Getao could not justify the high expenses of using its models in a small start-up company that was not able to pay these costs.

The Bloomberg report indicates that the digital economy on the African continent does not exceed $180 billion, which is – compared to the size of a company like “OpenAI“The amount that reached $500 billion is small and cannot be seen.

However, Akhil Bhardwaj, associate professor at the University of Bath, believes that success in the artificial intelligence sector is not related to direct profits from contracts, but rather to the power and influence of the company, which is what Deep Sec seeks to achieve.

The report draws a direct parallel between China’s philosophy with “Deep Sec” and China’s Belt and Road Initiative, which helped developing countries enhance their infrastructure, but left them in debt, which is the same thing that Huawei also followed.
