A “very demure & very mindful” weekend at Our WonderHouse trying pottery for the first time 😄 Loved the stunning community space & their programs. Definitely check it out if you’re in Nairobi!

Are you ready for our big news? :)

AI doesn’t magically solve problems on its own. If the data feeding your AI isn’t solid, you’ll get flawed results. I break this down in more detail in my latest Forbes article. twitter.com/ForbesBizCncl/…

Me at age 5, in The Gambia, with my sisters. We couldn’t even afford grass in our yard, and I was wearing hand-me-down pants that were way too big for me. Never let your humble beginnings limit how far you believe you can go in life.

Attending the Heritage and Culture Society of Africa gala last night, and winning an auction for a tea time with THE Lady Danbury from Netflix’s blockbuster Bridgerton was not on our bingo card… 🤣

From @dreamforce Time100 Talks session last week: sharing the work we’re doing at @SandTechInc in healthcare, using AI to enhance the skills of nurses & community healthcare workers in rural areas where there’s often a significant shortage of doctors. ow.ly/N2EO50Tts6C

👉 The 'AI bro' problem is real: "Most of the folks building AI models are men in Silicon Valley. We need to bring a more diverse group of people into AI convo." – @FredSwaniker

👉 We're not using AI to its full potential: "Right now there's excitement around using AI to make art and do your homework and we need to move beyond that and say how can we use it to solve infra, access to water, and environmental issues." – @SashaMTL

I walked in expecting to hear about AGI and the singularity. I walked out thinking about how AI could help solve water scarcity. All in a #DF24 day's work. What are your thoughts on AI and equitability? Let me know in the replies 👇

👉 The real AI revolution might be more boring (but important): "AI, for example, can be used to figure out where to put electric car charging stations in a city. That's a powerful use case solving an important issue." – @FredSwaniker
