About these estimates. No source publishes AI exposure by region for every country. The model splits Congo, Dem. Rep.'s real ILO sector employment across regions using population (Wikidata) and density: denser, capital-city regions get more finance, ICT and professional jobs, and rural regions more farming. Totals match national figures. AI usage figures are measured, not modelled. Methodology
