非洲的数字进步因光纤基础设施差和连通性不均而放慢, Africa's digital progress is slowed by poor fibre infrastructure and uneven connectivity, despite rising internet use.

尽管互联网使用量不断增长,宽带迅速扩展,只有12%的纤维覆盖率和有限的数据基础设施阻碍了AI的采用和数字经济增长,但非洲仍面临着数字鸿沟。 Africa faces a digital divide despite growing internet use and rapid broadband expansion, with only 12% fibre coverage and limited data infrastructure hindering AI adoption and digital economy growth. 专家们强调,可靠、高速宽带,特别是纤维,加上政府的支持、技能发展和数据主权,是取得包容性进展的关键。 Experts stress that reliable, high-speed broadband—especially fibre—along with government support, skills development, and data sovereignty are crucial for inclusive progress. 虽然南非、埃及和肯尼亚等国家看到了成果,但广泛的连通性仍是一项挑战,需要投资于基础设施、政策改革和协作,以释放非洲在全球数字未来的潜力。 While countries like South Africa, Egypt, and Kenya see gains, widespread connectivity remains a challenge, requiring investment in infrastructure, policy reform, and collaboration to unlock Africa’s potential in a global digital future.
