Microsoft's Majorana 1: A Breakthrough in Topological Quantum Computing
by Victor Kapiyo 20 Feb '25

20 Feb '25

Morning Listers, Yesterday, Microsoft has unveiled Majorana 1, the world's first quantum chip utilizing a novel Topological Core architecture based on a breakthrough material called a topoconductor. This topoconductor enables the creation and control of Majorana particles, leading to more stable and scalable qubits, the fundamental building blocks of quantum computers. Unlike current approaches, Majorana 1's architecture offers a clear path towards a million-qubit chip, a crucial threshold for solving complex industrial and societal problems previously intractable for classical computers. The potential applications of a million-qubit quantum computer are vast, ranging from designing self-healing materials and breaking down microplastics to revolutionizing drug discovery and materials science by enabling precise calculations of molecular interactions and chemical reactions.

20 Feb '25

Dear Listers, Join us today, February 20, 2025, to celebrate World Day of Social Justice, a day dedicated to promoting fairness, equality, and human rights. This year’s theme, “*Strengthening a Just Transition for a Sustainable Future*,” emphasises the need for inclusive policies that address systemic inequalities while fostering sustainable development in the face of global challenges like climate change and economic transitions Social justice isn't just about addressing poverty, unemployment, and inequality but also about ensuring human rights are protected in an increasingly digital world. Technology has transformed how we communicate, work, and advocate for justice. However, it has also introduced new challenges for actors working to advance human rights. The Tatua Digital Resilience Centre is committed to empowering SJOs in East Africa by equipping them with the tools and knowledge needed to navigate these challenges effectively. As we reflect on the significance of the World Day of Social Justice, let’s acknowledge the digital security challenges that social justice organizations, activists, human rights defenders, and journalists face, and take action to support their vital work. Use the hashtags #SocialJusticeDay and #digitalsecurityforSJOs to share your thoughts and celebrate with local SJOs today.

Call for Topics: Kenya Internet Governance Forum (KIGF) 2025
by Florence Awino 17 Feb '25

17 Feb '25

The Kenya Internet Governance Forum (KIGF) is an annual multistakeholder platform that brings together diverse groups to discuss ICT and Internet policy issues. While the forum generates soft policy outcomes, its primary role is to serve as a knowledge-sharing platform that informs and inspires policy actors across the public and private sectors. KIGF also contributes to regional and global Internet Governance Forums (IGFs) through a structured reporting and representation process. This ensures that Kenya’s perspectives are integrated into broader policy discussions, fostering a bottom-up approach to Internet governance and strengthening the connection between global and local policies. This year's Kenya IGF theme is *Tech for Human Development: **Policy, Innovation, and Inclusive Governance.* The KIGF 2025 program will be developed in line with the following sub-themes, though participants are encouraged to propose topics that resonate with Kenya’s unique context: 1. Championing Home-grown Tech Solutions for Societal Impact Fostering innovation ecosystems that empower local tech talent to develop solutions addressing Kenya’s unique societal challenges. 2. Creating a Thriving Ecosystem for AI and Emerging Technologies Building policies and infrastructure to enable responsible AI and emerging technologies to flourish, driving innovation and economic growth. 3. Bridging Digital Access Gaps: Ensuring No One Is Left Behind Promoting inclusive digital access by addressing connectivity, affordability, and digital literacy to empower all segments of society. 4. Harmonizing Tech Policies for Inclusive and Sustainable Growth Aligning regulatory frameworks to encourage innovation, protect digital rights, and support equitable growth in Kenya’s tech landscape. *We invite all stakeholders to propose topics and actively participate in shaping the discussions at KIGF 2025. You can submit your views on this form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1dq4TxdEsaKZ5I07TtNvO3OVcfIsaPvAqMVK_VdevLH…>by 2 March 2025.* -- *Regards,* *Florence A.
