Ruto sells M-Pesa revolution as Adan Mohamed introduced as cabinet secretary in US meeting

Kenya’s mobile pay platform was probably the first established in 2007. In 4 years it will be two decades. I had PayPal with my old phone line. Now the President of Kenya, there with Tim Cook has said Apple play also will be integrated with MPESA, Kenya’s mobile money platform. Kenyans also were paid about $2 an hour to make ChatGPT safer. Kenya has alot to offer, except leadership. 🙄 President Ruto spoke at the US-Affica Business Roundtable yesterday.

SpaceX no longer taking losses to produce Starlink satellite antennas, a key step to improving profitability

PARIS – Elon Musk’s SpaceX is no longer absorbing the cost of the Starlink antennas that it sells with its satellite internet service, a company executive said on Wednesday, a key step to the company improving its profitability.

“We were subsidizing terminals but we’ve been iterating on our terminal production so much that we’re no longer subsidizing terminals, which is a good place to be,” Jonathan Hofeller, SpaceX vice president of Starlink and commercial sales, said during a panel at the World Satellite Business Week conference.

SpaceX sells consumer Starlink antennas, also known as user terminals, for $599 each. For more demanding Starlink customers – such as mobile, maritime, or aviation users – SpaceX sells antennas with its service in a range from $2,500 to $150,000 each.

Where Should Your Company Start with GenAI?

Companies are struggling with where to start with generative AI. The authors’ case studies, based on their growing global community of over 3,000 GenAI practitioners, point to a new category of work, more precise and actionable than “knowledge work.” They call it WINS Work — the places where tasks, functions, possibly your entire company or industry — are dependent on the manipulation and interpretation of Words, Images, Numbers, and Sounds (WINS). This framework can help leaders identify how vulnerable their business is to changes from this new technology and plan their response.

The Time Is Now: Why Enterprises Should Invest In Systems Of Intelligence

Though artificial intelligence has been making inroads into the enterprise, the rise of generative AI is accelerating the pace of adoption. It’s time for enterprise CXOs to consider building systems of intelligence that complement systems of record and systems of engagement.

In the last two decades, enterprises have invested in building solid foundations for managing data and information. Relational databases such as Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server became the cornerstone of information systems. Built on this foundation were customer relationship management, human resources management, supply chain management and other line of business applications that quickly became the digital backbone of… More.


This context, when combined with advanced prompt engineering, helps enterprises build intelligent AI-based assistants on the lines of Microsoft Copilot or Google Duet AI.

The foundation models become the core of systems of intelligence. The contextual information generated via semantic search is fed to these generative AI models, which deliver rich insights and accurate information to users. The use cases aligned with SOI go beyond typical chatbots. Different teams within an organization will use them to handle a range of scenarios, from marketing to sales forecasting.

The next generation of platforms, tools, and cloud services will be focused on enabling businesses to build and consume systems of intelligence. Platform and cloud providers are rapidly developing tools and services to support this trend.

Human-plus-AI solutions mitigate security threats

Fifty years ago, the average business transaction was pretty straightforward. Shoppers handed purchases directly to cashiers, business partners shook hands in person, and people brought malfunctioning machines to a repair shop across the street. The proximity of all participating parties meant that both customers and businesses could verify authority and authenticity with their own eyes.

Innovation Has Two I’s, Just Like The Humans It Empowers

Rob Tillman, CIO of Copy Chief, has 20+ years transforming businesses with a human-centric innovation model deployed across diverse sectors.

In today’s fast-paced digital age, the term “innovation” is frequently thrown around in boardrooms, tech conferences and startup pitches. It’s often hailed as the driving force behind progress and the competitive edge for businesses. But have we ever paused to truly understand what innovation means at its core?

It’s not just about creating groundbreaking technologies or pioneering novel solutions. At its heart, innovation is about empowering humans.
