<div dir="auto">Hi Logan,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is good, I mean the idea of building a model on the continent. It’s good for our digital future. This is a critical pillar for Africa’s digital sovereignty.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However the narrative that Africa is an everlasting beggar who relies on donations for such critical infrastructure should change.</div>
<div>Africa spends billions yearly on useless projects and initiatives. These funds can really well be invested on the right skills and infrastructure.</div>

<div dir="auto">The <a href="http://cyberstorm.mu">cyberstorm.mu</a> team got a generous in kind sponsorship for hardware from an isp based in the our region (africa). Although the donation is not big, it's enough to get a start to build a cybersecurity ai
model. </div>

<div dir="auto">It is sad that one ai model is currently being restricted due to national security reasons in the usa.</div>

<div dir="auto">We should put our differences aside and aspire to build a modern african continent where ai is affordable for individuals and smes. </div>

<div dir="auto">Can we do that ? I would love to hear of similar efforts and how we can work together?</div>
