McDonald's is planning to replace drive-thru attendants with an AI model named Archy.

They were able to take 90% of orders without human interaction in a recent test, and they're preparing to roll it out for every McDonald's in the U.S.

Both parcels belong to KWS. Care to explain what happens to the 7.2 acres?

[The Standard Digital @StandardKenya]

KWS Director General, Erastus Kanga, has announced plans to relocate the Nairobi Animal Orphanage from its current 7.2-acre site to an 89-acre parcel opposite Bomas of Kenya, saying the 64 year old facility has outlived its usefulness. The new orphanage is expected to boost wildlife rescue services, create 1,000 jobs, increase visitor capacity and generate up to Sh4 billion annually for KWS.

Today, the United States is taking further action to address threats to stability and prosperity in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo by sanctioning senior commanders of two armed groups the United States previously designated, the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda and the Rwanda-backed March 23 Movement.

The Trump Administration is firmly committed to ensuring all parties uphold their commitments under the historic Washington Accords for Peace and Prosperity and Doha Framework and will continue using all available tools to advance lasting stability in the region.

BREAKING: Google is planning to release 32 million mosquitoes across Florida and California.

The company has asked the EPA for permission to proceed, with the public given until June 5 to respond.

The mosquitoes are infected with Wolbachia bacteria, which stops them from reproducing and slowly collapses the wild population from within.

Google's previous Debug Project trial in California's Central Valley nearly eliminated mosquitoes from three test sites entirely. A separate trial in Singapore cut dengue cases by 70% within 12 months.

Google has now released over 1 billion mosquitoes across four continents. This new proposal is the largest deployment in US history.

🔐 Today, as part of the side events during the Africa Tech Policy Summit (AfTPS) 2026, KICTANet through the Tatua Digital Resilience Centre is hosting the HRD Forensic Technical Workshop (Tatua AfTPS Training) at the Huawei Technologies Centre.

💻 The workshop brings together Human Rights Defenders (HRDs), Social Justice Organisations (SJOs), CSOs, and technical teams to strengthen capacity in digital forensics, spyware detection, secure communications, incident response, and digital resilience.

🛡️ As cyber threats targeting civic space continue to grow, this training is equipping frontline organisations with practical skills to safely detect, document, triage, and respond to sophisticated cyberattacks.

🤝 We are grateful to all facilitators, partners, and participants committed to strengthening safer and more resilient digital spaces in Kenya.
