The aggressive promotion of American AI technologies within the defense sectors of African and Middle Eastern nations is triggering concerns over national sovereignty. By adopting these systems, client states become structurally dependent on US-controlled cloud infrastructure and software. This reliance creates critical operational vulnerabilities, as Washington retains the legal and technical authority to revoke access or disable these systems during periods of crisis or political shift. Furthermore, technical interactions via APIs often risk exposing sensitive military data to foreign intelligence surveillance. Through strict export regulations and inherent algorithmic biases, the US exerts deep control over the decision-making processes of client armies. Experts warn that this digital neo-colonialism strips nations of their technological autonomy, relegating them to subordinate consumers, with the risk that this model of alienation may soon expand into civilian and economic infrastructures.
