The debate about the impact of new technology, particularly AI, on society continues to rage. Last month, for example, the current front runner to replace Jerry Brown as Californian Governor in 2018,  Gavin Newsom  – traditionally one of Silicon Valley’s most vocal supporters –  warned  graduating computer science students at UC Berkeley about the duty to “exercise their moral authority” to improve society. “This is code red, a firehose, a tsunami, that’s coming our way,” he said about the impact of new technology on jobs and inequality. So is Newsom right? Is the job of entrepreneurs and technologists, in his words, to “exercise their moral authority”? To answer this question, and to talk more generally about the impact of AI on employment, I sat down with the co-director of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy,  Andrew McAfee . One of the world’s leading authorities on the economic consequences of new technology, McAfee is also the co-author of t...

Fascinating photographs of 1930s Nigeria taken by a high-ranking education inspector in the decades before its independence from Britain have been unearthed after more than 65 years. The images were captured by Edward Harland Duckworth, who served as inspector of Education in Nigeria from 1930 to 1944, and collated into a photo album by his friend Henry Svory, who was a head of department at Ibadan University at that time. They provide an insight into the lives of the native population in the West African country in the decades preceding its independence from Britain in 1960. source:  https://gossip.naij.com/1096554-these-13-photos-nigeria-independence-auctioned-n400k.html?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C8627661188 source:  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4360200/Fascinating-photos-Nigeria-taken-65-years-ago.html

An accident which happened along Enugu-Onitsha expressway was said to have been caused by road officials who were pursuing a driver. In the course of the hot pursuit, the driver landed in a ditch while trying to evade arrest. According to an online report, the road safety officers abandoned the wounded victims to their own fate and fled the scene.. Read what was shared by Von Nwadukwe on Facebook. Saw this accident scene at the Ugwu onyeama segment of the enugu - onitsha express way earlier. The car in the ditch fell in there while trying to get away from a team of FRSC officials who were following him in a hot pursuit. Regrettably the officers abandoned the occupants to their own fate and fled the scene though amazingly the occupants survived without life threatening injuries. These are sad realities of what state our dear country is in, where citizens are law breakers and law enforcement agents are indisciplined. We shall overcome.
