How ASCA 2025 Summit will utilize innovation to address urban problems

 


Africa Smart Cities and Township Alliance (ASCA) is a global public-private partnership that aims to advance comprehensive projects across Africa cities and towns. 

The alliance was proposed by the World Smart Cities Forum (WCSF).

ASCA Summit is Africa’s platform for the display of transformative ideas and scalable infrastructure solutions for Africa SmartCities and towns.

The ASCA Summit 2025 to be held at the Lakeside City portrays Kisumu as a hub for smart city development, where investors, policymakers and innovators converge to craft solutions that bring Africa SmartCities to life. 

Africa’s urban future and innovative growth in major cities and towns will be reimagined through collaboration, technology and investment.

The Grand Royal Swiss Hotel was earmarked for the event to provide space dedicated to co-creating sustainable urban futures through Africa SmartCities solutions.

The ASCA Summit Kisumu bring together governments, private sector, innovators and academia to co-design scalable solutions for Africa SmartCities. Multisectoral collaboration is the route to sustainable transformation.

ASCA Summit 2025 is where policy leads to innovation, and investment create opportunities.

Kisumu is set to showcase the blueprint for Africa SmartCities that range from modern housing, clean energy, AI-driven urban planning and transport system that lessens urban traffic.

How Musk's Neuralink Blindsight will allow the blind to see

  Scientists are still stunned by Elon Musk's plan to enable blind people to see, using his Neurolink's Brain Computer Interface chip dubbed Blindsight. Neurolink has already partnered with top Spanish scientists and US Santa Barbara to make a device called Blindsight, a smart Bionic Eye powered by brain implants and AI. Blindsight got the approval of the US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA), though there have been no human trials. Musk confided that Neurolink will perform its first human implant of Blindsight at the course of 2025. Will Neurolink's Blindsight allow Blind People to see? Blindsight is designed to enable people with total visual impairment, as a result of damaged optic nerve but with intact visual cortex, to see. This is enhanced by bypassing the optic nerve and stimulating the visual cortex to create a visual perception. Visual cortex is part of the brain that receives, integrates and processes visual information relayed from the retina.  Blindsigh...

How Human Brain will replace Smartphones in communication

Elon Musk envisiges a future where smartphones are obsolete and communication happens directly through the brain.  According to Musk, Neuralink the brain-computer interface that his company is developing, could eventually replace phones entirely. Imagine navigating the internet, sending and receiving text messages, or even making calls, all with just your thoughts. This sounds like fictional science. However, Musk believes the integration of humans and artificial intelligence is a necessary mileage for human evolution.  Neuralink’s potential extends far beyond convenience; it could disrupt the field of medicine, communication and the way we interact with technology forever. The future Musk envisions is not just coming, it's already in the pipeline. NEURALINK will make Smartphones completely obsolete. Neuralink is a company that was found by billionaire Elon Musk and develops brain-computer interface technology. Its goal is to connect the human brain to computers so as t...

Why President Ruto risks being impeached

President William Ruto is treading a dangerous political path. His recent allegations over bribery in parliament might hound him out of office. The president has found himself in a political quagmire over his public expose on rampant graft in parliament. Legislators drawn from the National Assembly and the Senate were astounded by the manner in which the Head of State exposed their nakedness in the public gallery, instead of initiating prosecution process with the relevant mandated authorities. Majority of MPs were of the opinion that the president should have prosecuted his case with the relevant bodies established by the Constitution tasked to deal with corruption cases. National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and his Senate counterpart Amazon Kingi have been directed by a section of MPs to summon the president to shed more light over his aspersions or risk being impeached. Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang' and his Nairobi colleague Edwin Sifuna were irritated by what they...
