“Today, connectivity is no longer the end goal. We are now transitioning to the era of data-driven growth. Artificial intelligence is the common denominator that will redefine healthcare, education and energy, among many other sectors. As a commission, our mission is to ensure this transformation does not widen existing divisions.

The task ahead of us is urgent, but we will face challenges. The objective isn’t just to have a conversation. It is to ensure everything we agree to do, gets translated into tangible and practical outcomes.” President Kagame

President Kagame joined fellow Co-Chair Marc Benioff and Vice-Chair Doreen Bogdan-Martin for a fireside chat marking the launch of the AI for Good Global Commission. He then chaired the Commission’s inaugural meeting alongside Marc Benioff and Doreen Bogdan-Martin.

The high-level initiative brings together 44 commissioners to identify practical ways to harness artificial intelligence to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

“Artificial intelligence has the power to transform lives and strengthen economies. Africa is well-positioned to contribute to the digital economy. By 2050, our continent will have the largest, fastest-growing workforce in the world. There are many success stories about what our young people are doing on the continent with artificial intelligence. We have to invest in them. It will be a win-win for everyone. The bottom line, is that for A.I. to serve humanity as a whole, we must get it right in Africa and everywhere else.” President Kagame | #AIforGood Global Summit 2026

“My advice is simple: do not waste your energy fighting those who insult you.

Put your energy into building, building yourselves, and building your country, so that insults and the people who make them become insignificant and have no impact on you.

Ignore them, and keep doing what you are supposed to do. That is what matters.” ~ HE @PaulKagame

You asked, we delivered. If you’re a U.S. Google user, you can now change your account username for tools like Gmail, Photos, Drive and more — while keeping your emails, data and account history. Here’s what to know:

1️⃣ You can choose any available @gmail.com username.

2️⃣ Your old username will become an alias, so you won’t lose access to it. You can still sign in and send and receive emails with both usernames. Plus, you can also revert to your old username.

3️⃣ You can choose a new username once a year — up to three times total.

We trained a new flood forecasting model designed to predict flash floods in urban areas up to 24 hours in advance.

To help address a flash floods data gap, we created Groundsource: a new AI methodology using Gemini to identify 2.6M+ historical events across 150+ countries.

We’re open-sourcing this dataset to advance global research, and urban flash flood forecasts are live now in Flood Hub to help communities stay safe.

Thank you for sharing, Rwanda’s DPI model, exemplified by @rswitch eKash and SDID, underscores a pivotal shift: treating digital infrastructure not as a tech add-on but as core economic architecture. By prioritizing open-source, interoperable systems, Rwanda isn’t just digitizing services—it’s systematically formalizing its informal economy, reducing market entry barriers for investors, and positioning itself as a low-risk gateway for scaling fintech and agritech solutions across the EAC’s 300M+ population.

🚨 JUST IN: A migratory bird just shattered world records — flying 8,425 miles (13,560 km) NON-STOP across the Pacific without landing once.

The bar-tailed godwit doesn’t stop to eat, drink, or sleep during its migration across the Pacific Ocean. Its journey from Alaska to Australia takes roughly 11 days of continuous flight, covering over 13,000 kilometers through storms, headwinds, and open ocean with zero land beneath it the entire time.

Before departure, it does something almost surgical to its own body. It shrinks its digestive organs down to almost nothing, converting the stomach, intestines, and liver into raw fuel. The bird essentially eats its own gut to make room for fat reserves that will power its wings for nearly two weeks straight.

The brain doesn’t fully sleep either. Half of it stays active while the other half rests, alternating in shifts mid-flight at altitude over the open Pacific. The godwit is simultaneously unconscious and navigating with magnetic field sensitivity that no human instrument in the 18th century could replicate.

What makes this genuinely staggering beyond the physical record is the navigational precision involved. The bird leaves Alaska and arrives in New Zealand with accuracy that would embarrass early GPS systems. It reads Earth’s magnetic field, atmospheric pressure gradients, star positions, and potentially quantum-level compass mechanisms inside its eye that literally let it see magnetic field lines overlaid on its visual field.

Evolution spent millions of years building an aerospace navigation system inside a 300 gram animal.

We spend billions engineering machines that do what this bird does on instinct, fat reserves, and half a sleeping brain.
The longest recorded non-stop flight by a commercial aircraft is around 20 hours.

This bird does 11 days.

Without a runway.

Cardiologist wins 3rd place at Anthropic's hackathon. Out of 13,000 applications. Built in 7 days by Michał Nedoszytko MD. Coded day and night - in the hospital, in the cloud, while flying from Brussels to San Francisco.
A few years ago, it would have been impossible for a doctor to build this alone in just a couple of days. AI changed that.

The project is called https://t.co/wAliajqjVF. It is an AI agentic care platform for patients. Including reverse AI scribe it is a companion that guides the patient from the moment they leave the doctor's office.

Powered by the massive context window of Opus 4.6, it allows patients to explore their full medical history, connected devices, Evidence Based resources and external data sources — all in one place.

Today, the barrier to entry has vanished; even a practicing physician can build an application from scratch.

When we eat or drink sugar, it causes a sudden spike in the hormone insulin, which can serve as a catalyst to fuel certain types of cancers, Dr. Lewis Cantley, a Harvard professor and the then-head of the Beth Israel Deaconess Cancer Center, said in 2012.

His advice: don't eat sugar, and if you must, keep it to a minimum. https://t.co/yN025wWBMM

New research reveals that walking at 3 mph on a steep incline burns up to 70% more calories than running at the same speed on flat ground.

Skip the joint-pounding stress of flat-ground sprints. Studies show that maintaining a steady 3 mph pace on a 16–18% incline actually outperforms traditional running in several key ways. The uphill effort recruits far more muscle fibers—especially in the glutes, hamstrings, quads, and core—as your body fights gravity with every step. This constant resistance dramatically raises the metabolic demand, pushing energy expenditure higher without the repetitive impact of jogging.

Beyond the impressive calorie burn, incline walking delivers a superior cardiovascular workout. Your heart has to pump harder to supply oxygen to working muscles under increased gravitational load, which builds aerobic fitness more effectively than level walking. Interestingly, this approach also allows your body to tap into a higher percentage of fat as fuel compared to high-intensity flat running, all while being much gentler on knees, ankles, and hips.

For anyone looking to maximize fat loss, boost endurance, and get better results with less wear and tear on the body, trading sprints for steep incline walking might be the smartest upgrade you can make in the gym.
