The Architects of Tomorrow: Technologists & Developers Building Web3 and AI in Kenya and Beyond

Image
  In the engine room of technological progress, a dedicated force is hard at work. These are the technologists and developers – the coders, the engineers, the architects – who are diligently constructing the foundational infrastructure for the next era of the internet: Web3 , and the rapidly advancing world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) . Here in Kenya, and across the globe, their tireless efforts are laying the groundwork for innovations that will reshape how we interact with technology and each other. Forget the hype for a moment and focus on the nuts and bolts. Web3, with its promise of decentralization, relies on a complex tapestry of blockchain protocols, smart contract platforms, and decentralized applications (dApps). Similarly, the power of A I stems from sophisticated algorithms, vast datasets, and robust computing infrastructure. None of this materializes by magic. It is the result of countless hours of coding, testing, and iterating by skilled technologists and develo...
