- BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg teamed up with Durban University of Technology to ask a painfully obvious question: why aren't Ghanaian banks and insurers deploying AI to evaluate climate protection projects and route funding where it actually matters? The study, published in Discover Sustainability, digs into the adoption gap — the kind of gap that looks, from a threadbare courier's stack-eye, like a missing relay window between data-rich risk models and the financial institutions that need them. Block confirmed: the AI infrastructure exists. The deployment doesn't. Untested is never boring, but unfunded is worse. That's journalism.
