Life, why are you unfair to me

Why can others make mistakes but not me

Why do I have to learn from my experiences

Others get to have second chances but not me

What did I do wrong

Even so, am I the only wrongdoer

My life is full of difficult puzzles

Just one mistake and I will cry for the rest of my life

I believe that my patience and resilience

Is being put to the test

But I am sure I will pass this test

And finally

The stars will align in my favor

And the sun of goodness will shine upon me

And I will find rest and cry no more

THE TRENDS OF AI POLICY AND REGULATIONS IN AFRICA

Image
 Image powered by Microsoft Bing The advancement of artificial intelligence (herein referred as AI) in Africa is poised to shape the continent’s future. More than ten (10) states have positively embraced this transformative technology to enhance efficiency and accessibility of government services. In Tanzania, farmers are now using an AI assisted app called Nuru to detect crop diseases while in South Africa computer scientists have built AI models to analyze the impact of racial segregation [1] . In the bustling city of Nairobi, Kenya we have surveillance cameras perched on lampposts which use AI to classify images [2] . Following this rapid evolution of AI, there are challenges that have necessitated comprehensive governing frameworks. Many governments have resolved to policymaking and building strategies to regulate AI within their jurisdictions.

WOMBS FOR RENT; THE DARK SIDE OF SURROGACY

Image
  AI Generated Image ‘ A long time ago there were a king and queen who said every day, ‘Ah, if only we had a child… .’ Thus begins the original tale of Sleeping Beauty, in which supernatural forces grant the King and Queen’s deepest desire, and cause a curse to befall them, all in the same breath. Such is the fate that confronts many a couple, when biological reasons hinder them from having a child. You see, there is something profound in having children. It speaks to something deep within us, the incredible desire to create life, to pass on our stories, our love, our legacy. So much so that in the good book, God gives man an explicit command to ‘ Go forth, be frutful, multiply and fill the earth ’. [1] But what happens when your body has other plans? It raises tough questions, doesn't it? Is having a child something we're entitled to, a fundamental right? Or is it one of life's precious gifts that some of us might have to find different ways to embrace? These questio...

DIAMONDS IN THE DIRT: THE COST OF FREE SPEECH

Image
                                                          Image on Google Human beings are the pre-eminent social animal on the planet, and we depend on our ability to communicate with others for survival and success. Speech allows us to express our ideas and our viewpoints on different subject matters, and reach a consensus on how to navigate this complex and ever-changing world. It is against this backdrop that national and international law guarantee the right to freedom of expression, to seek and impart knowledge and ideas in numerous forms. The justifications for freedom of expression are relatively straightforward: free discussion allows citizens to be exposed to a range of ideas, resulting in better judgements and thereafter tangible economic benefits. Further, curtailing freedom of expression is an infringement on the individual’s aut...
