AI-generated disinformation and deepfakes are no longer future risks, they are already shaping public discourse across Africa. From synthetic political speeches to AI-generated images used to inflame tensions, the scale & speed of disinformation has fundamentally changed.

Did you know? Floods are among the most frequent and devastating climate-related disasters worldwide & African cities are becoming increasingly vulnerable. Rapid urban growth, settlements in flood-prone areas, poor drainage, & shifting rainfall patterns driven by climate change are intensifying

After decades of undermining the credibility of dissent, the Iranian regime now "has AI not just as a tool for creating fakes but as a rhetorical weapon." The sense that nothing can be trusted becomes an accelerant. (And not only in Iran.) www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

How Doubt Became a Weapon in Iran

AI manipulation, and the very suspicion of it, serves those who have the most to hide.

Data privacy is about control. Who collects your personal data, how it’s used, and why. As we mark Day 1 of #DataPrivacyWeek, we’re starting with the basics. Because understanding privacy is the first step to defending it. #DataPrivacy #DigitalRights #PrivacyMatters
