Setting up for the start of our symposium on “AI and the weaponisation of hate speech.” A venue as far removed from the cliches of AI as it’s possible to be.

Off to Lamu Island for a symposium, so doing a bit of country research. Inflation at work. In Kenya, "the national average bribe increased from KES 6,865 [US $53] in 2022 to stand at KES 11,625 [$90] in 2023." (National Ethics and Corruption Survey)

Had a great time at the African Investigative Journalism Conference in Jhb last week.
My colleagues at Code for Africa showcased groundbreaking work in civic tech–AI, disinfo tactics, surveillance and more. And I met a few of our 140-strong team from across 27 countries for the first time.
