Afraaz and I reunite after our last podcast in 2022 to discuss where we, as a society, stand and where we’re headed with AI, knowledge, and Africa. Zoom restricted us to 40 minutes; however, after recording, we continued for another 30 minutes off-camera. The conversation got better and better as time went on.
