OpenAI just announced its North Star: a fully autonomous AI researcher by 2028. An AI intern by September; running on hundreds of thousands of GPUs. Here's why that matters beyond Silicon Valley. Africa has 198 researchers per million people. Europe has 4,500. Now imagine an AI system that doesn't assist researchers — it replaces the need for one. Math proofs, drug discovery, policy analysis. Fully autonomous. I write more about this and the implications for safety and access! open.substack.com/pub/enamara/p/…

Nigeria's Central Bank just mandated AI fraud detection for all digital banks. But here's the catch: the real fraud might be who gets excluded. AI security systems work great for users with smartphones and stable internet. But 26% of Nigerian adults are still financially excluded ; jumping to 47% in northern regions. When AI flags legitimate users as suspicious because their behavior doesn't match "normal" urban patterns, those users don't just lose access. They lose trust in digital systems entirely. The question: What would AI fraud detection look like if it started with the excluded 26%, not the banked 74%? [enamara.substack.com/p/nigerias-ai-…] #AIinAfrica #FinancialInclusion

Incredible! I can't wait to see what they build! @rkabushenga is the right man to put them to task!

@solomonking Welcome to the club!

I've vibe coded so much today, Claude just said: "Compacting our conversation so we can keep chatting." Turns out it can summarize older messages to free up space in its active memory (context window) without forcing you to start a new chat, enabling longer, or in-depth sessions

Leadership transitions matter. They honor legacy while creating space for renewed vision, stability, and momentum. Here’s to continuity — and even greater heights ahead. #BoardLeadership #CorporateGovernance #KCBUganda

As we welcome Mathias Katamba as our new Board Chair, I look forward to working together in this next chapter. I’m confident that with your experience and strategic insight, we will continue strengthening governance and driving sustainable growth.

Today we marked an important leadership transition at @kcbbankug bidding farewell to our Board Chair and welcoming a new Chair at the helm. 🧵

I wrote this opinion post today on LinkedIn as well as in ⁦@DailyMonitor⁩ if you read today’s paper! As heads of state gather in Addis this week for the AU Summit, I reflect on what discussions they should consider on Artificial Intelligence. "linkedin.com/pulse/governan…

@Ruthaine ✊🏾🙏🏾🫶🏾 she’s coming back! Bigger, better and wiser! She’s my hero.

Go girl! @enamara!

This girl is still my hero. She’s evolved, and like a phoenix she is building better technology today! I can’t wait to unveil the new her! Thank you @Huawei for all the support over the years!

@Huawei This girl is still my hero!

Uganda has achieved robust economic growth for the last 30 years. But can it be any better? You bet! A better Uganda starts with a better U!

Made my radio debut today (clearly a late bloomer!) at @powerfmuganda talking about @KarisMedical partnership with @watotochurch for the SON of GOD production. Cantata will be bigger than ever this year. Bring your family & friends! Thanks DJs Paula & E.K.E for hosting! 🤩 🤩 🤩

Saturday was a fulfilling cascade of emotions. Of how a day should start & end. A run. A funeral. A drive. A party. 1. At the @TheGuluMarathon start line with my friends @FGimara @MosesRutahigwa & Fred Otunnu. 2. The finish line with Henry Mukanza, a fascinating thorough & deliberate thinker who has fast become a good friend. 3. Then went by Awere in Omoro to commiserate with @Markocitti who lost his father. Glad I was able to do this. 4. Then ended at the @paceathletesC1 end of year party. These guys know how to do it. Only problem is Yvonne, Francois & @tom_kabali had finished the chicken🤣! Anyway I still caught up two other great friends @ChristelleUwacu & @enamara for a great laugh. Day well spent.
