Gathering of creative minds hosted by @minderoo foundation. Incredible energy, creativity and wisdom on the sidelines of #UNGA. We need ideas, coalitions, a movement.

𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗔𝗶 Had a reflective conversation with Tim Rutherford, Head of Impact Missions at the Minderoo Foundation, after what has been a whirlwind of events at #UNGA80. We spoke about how best to partner on inclusion, trust, and safety in AI. Africa – and increasingly Kenya – is the frontline of how technology will be defined: whether it brings more harm to society or more benefits to humanity. Grateful to Tim and Dr. Andrew Forrest for their commitment to support this journey. Together, we can shape an AI future that delivers for people everywhere. @minderoo @Minderoo_Found @SingoeiAKorir @WilliamsRuto @honkabogo @ForeignOfficeKE
