We are at the #IndiaAISummit2026 where the vast ecosystem that makes up #ArtificialIntelligence is under debate and discussion. There is an underbelly in many discussions, and that is the human labour upon which AI is built. Unseen, unheard yet immensly valuable! #TechTapestry

Our panel discussion on AI and Journalism at #UgandaMediaWeek 2025, hosted by @MFAUganda was an engaging session exploring how AI is reshaping the field of Journalism both as a tool for innovation and a call for ethical vigilance. We kicked off with historical context, noting how journalism has adapted to past disruptions like the internet, and positioned AI as a similar opportunity rather than an outright threat. Key opportunities discussed included using AI for efficient research, headline optimization, workflow automation, interview transcription, data visualisation (shoutout to tools like Google Pinpoint), and even cross-border collaborations especially vital for resource-limited African newsrooms. We also discussed the real challenges: potential job displacements in production roles, ethical dilemmas like unauthorised voice cloning or content homogenisation, IP attribution issues, and the need for robust policies to tackle data privacy and biases in AI training (particularly the underrepresentation of African data resulting in a re-entrenchment of Eurocentric narratives). Kudos to my co-panelists, Juliet N. Nanfuka (@chewingstones) from @cipesaug , @gijn Africa Editor Ben Oluka, the team from the @GrabACoffeePod and to our gracious hosts, Media Focus on Africa. Let’s continue to emphasise proactive adoption, shifting from fear to exploration, integrating AI ethically, and advocating for meaningful reforms. We have a moral duty to lead the charge in making AI work for journalism, while preserving the human touch audiences value. Grateful for the thoughtful exchanges and looking forward to seeing how we implement these ideas.

Muhoozi deleted the tweets threatening to kill Bobi Wine but I kept them for him. You can’t erase something from the internet

In November 2024, four Ugandan complainants filed a complaint before the Uganda Personal Data Protection Office (PDPO) challenging Google’s noncompliance with the law including failure to register with the PDPO & conducting cross-border data transfers without PDPO approval.

The UK Visa Application Centre (VFS Global) in Westlands, Nairobi, is a masterclass in modern day exploitation. Kenyans pay hundreds of dollars, wait in the sun, get misinformed, and walk away feeling less human. The new venue at Principal Place (yes, they left 9West) has no proper waiting area and no parking. This is by design to have you pay 17K for their VIP/Premium “services “ If you’re not paying for premium services, you’re left outside in the heat, on the pavement. Elderly people, parents with kids, students, all treated like a security threat Their Communication is Trash. You get vague emails like “your passport is ready for collection ” only to be turned away and told “collection is from 2pm to 5pm, (you can easily indicate that on the same damn email) That means if you show up at 10am, you’ll have to wait till 2pm or you can easily pay the 17K to be attended to quickly.. ?? EXPLOITATION No clear timeline. No courtesy. You’re meant to guess your way through it. These centers aren’t run by embassies, they’re outsourced to private companies who monetize your desperation. It’s a business, not a service. And guess what? No refund if your visa is denied(familiar?) The worst part? This is normalized. We’ve accepted that applying for a visa means surrendering your dignity just to maybe be allowed into a country that benefits from our labor, money, and talent. If Global North countries want to charge Africans these high fees and accord them zero dignity , the bare minimum should be basic human respect. Decent waiting areas. Transparent timelines and Fair communication. This isn’t about security. It’s about power and exploitation… This system needs to be called out and changed. And it’s time African governments started protecting their citizens from this daylight exploitation.
