Cybersecurity Essentials: How To Stay Safe On The Internet

  Hi there, my name's Likhwa and welcome to Building Africa's Next Tech Unicorn. on this platform I give a behind the scenes look at what it takes to build a startup within the African context. In today's video, I'll be doing something different- I'll be talking about how you can stay safe online. This isn't meant to scare you or get you all paranoid, but to help you be more vigilant in protecting yourself and your loved ones from cyber threats.  Most people underestimate the dangers of the internet, but the more I am exposed to it, the more I wish I didn't need it. At times I wish I could just disconnect, get rid of all my devices and not have to worry about the constant threats that come with being online. I believe some of us are fortunate by default- especially those who live in countries like my Zimbabwe- because we hardly use credit cards to transact online and even when we do, its not like we have a lot of money- otherwise we would be a hacker's g...

Summary: Reimagining Artificial General Intelligence by Likhwa. M. Moyo

The paper Reimagining Artificial General Intelligence: A Human-Centric Approach presents a new vision for the development of AGI systems. In this paper, I propose a redefinition of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) as: a system capable of independently understanding, learning, and performing a wide range of intellectual tasks that a human can, while proactively interacting with humans in a natural, adaptive, and context-aware manner, across multiple modalities and environments. This summary provides an overview of the paper's key insights and takeaways The pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has long been driven by a singular question: what does it mean to create truly intelligent machines? As we stand at the threshold of a new era in AI development, it's clear that the answer to this question will have far-reaching implications for the future of human-AI collaboration. This paper proposes a human-centric approach to AGI, prioritizing interaction, adaptability...

Why We Need a Human-Centric Redefinition of Artificial General Intelligence

Why We Need a Human-Centric Redefinition of Artificial General Intelligence A few weeks ago, I started working on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). At the time, I wasn’t entirely sure where the road would lead—I was just curious. AGI, after all, is considered the next frontier in AI, something that goes beyond what we see in current systems. However, unlike previous technological advancements, I didn’t want to be a spectator in that future; I wanted to be involved, to be an active player—an architect—helping to shape what that future would look like. AGI promises to be something that can think, learn, and adapt across a broad range of domains—more like a human mind, as opposed to the narrow, task-specific AI we’re familiar with today. But as I dug deeper into AGI, I realized something important: as things stand, no one really knows what AGI will look like. To truly build it, we need to start with the basics—a vision. Most definitions of AGI out there focus on the idea of mimic...
