A new paper analyses how AI is used to manage climate-linked health issues in Africa. Global research leans toward complex predictive models for planetary health. African work focuses on local reactive solutions for immediate infectious disease triage. Compute deficits, data silos and energy instability in Africa block advanced AI scaling. The authors call for a shift from siloed pilot projects to foundational digital infrastructure. Localized AI frameworks are also needed. The study used a Synthetic Knowledge Synthesis approach and VOSviewer. It compared Scopus-indexed literature from global and African corpora.
