Can #AI do for #globaldev what #tech is doing for #capitalism? If the #SDGs are made the revenue targets for the 'paperclip maximizer 4 good' to solve towards, are we letting machines take over as the humanitarians of the future? bit.ly/paperclipdev #digitaldevelopment #ict4d

We are reaching a rhetorical ‘tipping point’ on #climatechange – one big story that will change the game. When it comes, we’ll need all the @GretaThunberg’s we can get. bit.ly/TIppingPoint @MWilkinson168 suggests training climate activists of the future through #ICT4D.

One size does not fit all. Can we find a balance between pushing for greater gender equality though ICTs, and the cultural and traditional values of each individual country? wpmu.mah.se/nmict182group1… #TakeBackTheTech #OnlineGenderbv (on @Quartet4D)

When it comes to #ICT4D and #GenderEquality campaigning, one size does NOT fit all. @MWilkinson168 looks at articles by @faheem_h, Sara Amin & @saraannbaker in the latest @GaDjournal to find out why: bit.ly/Nt1size

"women require 5-10 interactions before they feel confident enough to use [the mobile money service], whereas men require just 3-5." Fascinating insight into the #digital #gendergap in #fintech. We need to design with user behavior at the core bit.ly/Nt4grls @CGAP
