Africa-Press – Kenya. Google on Tuesday announced its collaboration with the World Bank Group to build AI-powered public digital infrastructure for emerging market economies.
“The collaboration focuses on deploying Open Network Stacks, which act like digital infrastructure to help citizens access vital services,” a Google statement said.
The statement noted that by combining Google’s Cloud’s AI technology, including its Gemini models, with the World Bank Group’s development expertise, the initiative helps governments quickly create interoperable networks for critical sectors like agriculture, health care and skilling.
