AI MAY FINALLY LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD ACROSS THE GENERATIONS

Image
Artificial Intelligence has arrived the way Nairobi rains do—suddenly, loudly, and without asking whether you’ve hung your clothes outside. What used to sound like complicated sci-fi is now helping people draft emails, diagnose illnesses, run businesses, write code, design logos, farm smarter, and even argue politely with chatbots. Experts say AI’s capability doubles roughly every 5.7 months. By the time you finish this paragraph, it might already have taught itself a new trick. Tucked inside this disruption is a rare opportunity. Kenya’s Gen Z and the fast-coming Gen Alpha may actually have the advantage for once. These are the same young Kenyans who can create a meme, record a TikTok, write a thread, and organise a protest—all before breakfast. They switch between apps faster than older generations switch between TV channels. In a world where curiosity and adaptability are the new currency, that’s a superpower.

  Alumni Role as Agents of Social Change You are the light of the world. A city on the hill cannot be hidden                                                                                      – Mathew 5:15 Some of the founder members of Dr.BAMU Alumni Association – Kenya during the inaugural meeting that resolved to register the Association on the 8th of July, 2017.   The noun  Alumnus  describes a former pupil or student of a particular school, college or university.

Society Thrives On Its Ability to Honour Everyday Heroes

In a few hours’ time, the world marathon record holder Kenyan, Eliud Kipchoge will be at it again in Vienna, Austria, this time in a bid to break the two hour barrier in a much publicised race that has been dubbed the INEOS 1:59 challenge. This race has elicited a lot of interest from all and sundry across the globe with billions anxiously waiting to see what the human will and body can withstand when pushed to the limit. At the same time, it has not escaped most Kenyans that some corporates have seen it fit to take a bite off the legend and some have lined up a bounty of gifts for him as others have even gone as far as doodling his name as part of their brand visual story telling. Not a problem if you ask me. Let the hardworking brother make hay while the sun shines. Personally, it matters little whether Eliud Kipchoge will run under the two hour mark or not.

Traffic University: The Reading Revolution

Image
Reading does for the brain what exercise does for the body                                                                                                                             ~  Anonymous A thought characteristic of readers, that is, men and women who are serious about getting better is that any quiet time they get is by default reading time. Jim Kwik, one of the world’s foremost authorities on hacking learning and memory retention advises that you can get more out of reading a book if you schedule time for it rather than just grabbing one only when you find some time, for instance in your bed just before you sleep. Amidst all the hustle and bustle of c...
