Intercentrality The concept I’d like to introduce is intercentrality. It describes a situation in which extreme centralisation and extreme decentralisation can work together in an organisational structure that can be alternated within the system as a whole and within specific components: infrastructure and applications. The concept extrapolates traditional governance, open source, privacy and literacy activists, and the…

As we head into 2026, AI, blockchain, and other emerging technologies are moving from experiments into core healthcare systems. That shift promises tangible benefits: fewer people left untreated, faster discovery of lifesaving treatments, and simpler, lower‑cost ways to move money and data across borders. It also brings real risks — speculative hype, erosion of institutional…

Africa, data and Internet of Things The history of IoT starts with the old hands in the factories knowing their machines inside out and hearing when they would break down. From the fifties their skills were exchanged for tailored sensors for all of the indicators that the factory people knew: vibration, heat, sound, rhythm… The…
