It's not as exclusive as it was, say, a few years ago.

OpenAI uses our compute.

They train models in our data centers, but they work with other companies as well.

We critically rely on OpenAI's frontier models.

They are among the best.

In many days, they are the best in the world.

But we have a relationship with Anthropic.

I do think we need to act with urgency.

Today, about a quarter of the population in the global north has access to and is using generative AI, but only 14% in the global south.

And when you look at the rates of growth, it's almost double in the global north what we're seeing in the south.

So just as electricity divided the world,

The countries that had access to it for a century industrialized, they grew their economies.

The countries that lacked access to electricity fell behind.

We will turn this moment, I believe, either into a moment where we will close this divide, we can use AI to really enable the global south to catch up in terms of economic growth,
