Late last year, I traveled to Cape Town just ahead of the #G20 summit to co-host our Digital Futures Symposium. 🌍✈️ The message from the room was blunt: Africa’s AI future won’t be decided by slogans about sovereignty, but by who controls infrastructure. ⚡🤖

“Without social media like Twitter and Facebook,” argued @CandaceRondeaux at @NewAmericaISP's 2025 #FutureSecurityForum, “there would be no #WagnerGroup.”
