[kictanet] Cheap AI coding labour?

[Wainaina Mungai]

Some developers are raising concerns privately that great initiatives such
as Zindi are "cheaply buying AI code" from Africa
https://zindi.africa/faq/data_scientists

According to them, "Zindi runs high-value expertise programming
competitions/ hackathons in Kenya and Nigeria... and demands code in
exchange for low pay prizes. It is unfairly low-cost labour for them."

See attached. Are their concerns valid?
