Deployment Intelligence

Sourced records of Chinese AI deployments across the Global South and the Middle East

Each record carries country, segment, entry mode, local partner and verbatim scale wording, with a public source link wherever one exists. Check the original source before citing it in a business case, due-diligence answer or board briefing.

deployment records: 135

How to read these numbers: A purposive, publicly sourced case library, not a probability sample: counts describe the library, not market share. Monetary figures mix investment, revenue and user metrics — treat them as magnitude markers and defer to the verbatim description and source link.

During Tanzania's 2025 general election, TikTok worked with the Independent Electoral Commission of Tanzania and Nukta Fact to launch a Swahili Election Center and partnered with Code for Africa on fact-checking. The platform requires creators to label realistic AI-generated content and uses C2PA Content Credentials to help identify AIGC generated on external platforms.
