Reading a Chest X-ray in Turkana: Where the AI Lives
The WHO-approved chest X-ray AI models running on tablets in Turkana are working. What is not yet settled is where the stack underneath them actually lives: training pipelines, reference datasets, and GPU clusters that remain, for now, in foreign clouds. The sovereignty argument in African clinical AI is not about slowing deployment — it is about writing the compute transition into procurement documents before the current generation of X-ray machines needs replacing.

Nadella's Half-Drawn Ledger
Satya Nadella's essay on the reverse information paradox names a real problem: enterprise buyers surrender proprietary knowledge — prompts, corrections, evaluation harnesses — to AI vendors with each query.

The enterprise buyer's job is to notice which parts of the argument survive when the messenger changes.
