At #BridgeSummit, H.E. @omarSAlolama raises a critical question: what do AI models see when they look at us? How do they interpret our history, heritage, and identity? This matters @Rundown_Studio_. we're building tools that enable culturally nuanced, Africa-contexts.
AI doesn’t just live in software, it’s inside the hardware we import. H.E. @OmarSAlolama explains why societies must understand how these tools perceive their culture, or risk having their stories filtered through someone else’s bias. 📍 Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC Centre)⁣ 🗓 December 8–10, 2025⁣ ⁣ Register now: bridgesummit.com/en⁣ ⁣ #WorldMediaBRIDGE⁣ #BRIDGESummit

Rob Beynon is right - AI is forcing news media to rethink. Our Newsroom Co-pilot transforms raw story material into broadcast-ready content through verification, anti-bias protocols, and contextual research - codifying the editorial processes. DM #WorldMediaBRIDGE #BRIDGESummit
Rob Beynon sees AI as the moment that forces the media industry to rethink everything it has long taken for granted. At BRIDGE Summit, he highlights how automation challenges assumptions about workflow, standards, and accuracy. 📍 Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC Centre) 🗓 December 8–10, 2025 Register now: lnkd.in/dpQgWkMm #WorldMediaBRIDGE #BRIDGESummit

That's a lazy reading of what the Imamat represents. Aga Khan embodies the tradition of guiding faith thru intellect, ethics, & spiritual clarity. Far frm restricting freedom, the Imamat protects it by freeing believers frm rigid literalism & giving faith relevance in modern life
Imam Aga Khan serves as mass restriction on ideological freedom. There is no reason to be a Muslim who longs for a pre-Mahdi theological centralist structure.

From @investanswers Solana #1 for Devs in 2024. Ethereum #1 (which includes all L2s) - but it appears some L2s are listed standalone also... and BASE is the most innovative L2 Project on ETH.

#ICYMI How can language models reflect cultural contexts to serve areas like healthcare and education effectively? What are the ethical considerations and data sovereignty in AI development across the continent? @Zain_Verjee sat down with Prof. @vukosi on the Embedded podcast recorded during #GAISAfrica2025. Listen as they discuss the critical role of language in creating AI systems that serve African communities authentically. 📽️ Catch it here: lnkd.in/d_CqrzrU
Who will shape Africa's AI future? On Episode 2 of a special series of Embedded with @Zain_Verjee, Prof. @vukosi Marivate makes a powerful case for African ownership in technological development. The vision goes beyond simply adopting technologies created elsewhere—it's about Africans actively designing, building, and controlling AI systems that reflect their own values and priorities. This call for technological self-determination challenges both leaders and global tech companies to reconsider how innovation happens on the continent. Recorded at the Global AI Summit on Africa and produced in partnership with the Rwanda Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution @c4ir_rw.
