Yeah, data centers, we're seeing headlines about large data center investments across sub Saharan Africa.

But what's the reality on the ground?

Are these investments the silver bullet for AI adoption, or are there deeper constraints at play, Elisa?

Alisa, building on those institutional bottlenecks you just mentioned, let's shift to the regulatory landscape.

Across various regions, we're seeing a highly fragmented regulatory environment.

At the same time, many governments are pushing for data localization.

How did these twin challenges, the regulatory vacuum and the push for data sovereignty, collide?

Thank you, Elisa.

Those are really valuable regional insights that help illustrate some of the points that we've been discussing today.

So let's return to outcomes beyond efficiency.

You know, where are firms actually seeing growth?

Right now, efficiency seems to be the primary driver of AI adoption.

However, our research found 22% of firms attributed actual income growth to AI in 2025.

And forty percent anticipate revenue increases this year in twenty twenty six.

So Polly, how are companies transitioning AI from a back office cost saving tool to a front office revenue generator?

And what impact does that have on their employee composition?

Thank you for listening to the decisive podcast from S ⁇ P Global.
