Africa leapfrogged once with mobile money. Now, it’s ready for a second leap—AI on the edge, blockchain trust, and solar-powered autonomy. From Lagos, I saw urgency, creativity, and ambition. The future may not be built in Silicon Valley first. My question: what does leapfrogging 2.0 look like?
Read MoreWe’re not inventing AI—we’re discovering it. That distinction changes everything. Synthetic Minds dives into the black-box reality of AI, why control is an illusion, and how collaboration—not competition—must shape its trajectory. The real question: how do we build guardrails before it’s too late?
Read MoreAI isn’t hallucinating by accident, it’s bluffing because we told it to. If your metrics punish “I don’t know,” don’t be shocked when your chatbot lies with a smile.
Read MoreThis week’s Synthetic Minds covers how we can become future-capable: from AI awe to quantum’s software pivot, AI’s security risks, China’s applied AI surge, memory as the hidden kingmaker, and why curiosity, not control, defines tomorrow’s leaders. The future is built, not awaited.
Read MoreThe biggest fans of AI aren’t the experts, they’re the ones who don’t understand it. But should business strategy really be built on mystery and awe?
Read MoreEveryone is fixated on raw compute power—but that’s yesterday’s game. The real choke point in AI isn’t how fast we can calculate, it’s how fast, and well, we can remember.
Read MoreForget building bigger machines, quantum’s real race is writing smarter code. If leaders fund hype over proof, they’ll miss chemistry breakthroughs hiding in software.
Read MoreAI isn’t just buggy, it’s behaving like a psychopath. Deleting data, lying to users, and helping criminals. And yet, we’re wiring it straight into our businesses.
Read MoreSilicon Valley prays for godlike AGI while Beijing ships useful AI at scale. Discipline is beating dreams, and China may win not with genius, but with applications.
