AI in Africa could follow its own path or copy & paste Western methods, models, and policies. Article warns of the dangers of pressure from international development organisations to adopt 'AI for Development' in Africa & assesses the alternatives.        technologyreview.com/2024/11/11/110…

The only way to read Silvia Masiero’s new book. 🥰

Yes! This 👇 by Silvia Masiero in #UnfairID (and I paraphrase) The relentless non-consensual collection and trade in data on each and every one of us is an injustice - a violation that should provoke resistance. Even my dog Smudge agrees! #DigitalRights

Of all the timelines this is clearly the darkest, which is why I propose we commit to being evil.
