    RT @AminiTech: What does it take for a country to own its AI future? We’re taking you behind the scenes of Amini’s work in Barbados in a new episode of The Solutionaries, produced by TIME Studios with PMI. See how we’re building sovereign AI infrastructure so countries can own, process and govern their data locally. We’re grateful to our team, @TIME Studios, @PMInstitute, and partners in Barbados for helping tell this story. Special thanks to this episode's Director @ebucklesjr, our Founder & CEO @KateKallot, Prime Minister @miaamormottley, Minister Jonathan Reid, ROAD Programme Manager Chereda Grannum, our Barbados Program Manager Chelceé Brathwaite, and an incredible team of Bajan builders. 🎬 Watch the full episode:

    RT @DeepIndaba: 💡 "Must African communities keep adapting to technologies built elsewhere, or can we build systems that understand the contexts they operate in?" @KateKallot , Founder & CEO of Amini, on Sovereign Intelligence in practice at #DLI2026: Africa's AI future needs its own compute, connectivity, energy, and trusted data, not just access to frontier models. 🌍 #DeepLearningIndaba #DLI2026 #indaba2026 #ÌmọWa #sovereignintelligence

    RT @RwandaICT: On the sidelines of the #ACF2026, the ministry and partners met with @AminiTech and @foxconnoficial to discuss their vision for sovereign AI infrastructure tailored to African markets. The exchange focused on modular AI datacenters designed for Africa’s infrastructure realities and the importance of building regional compute capacity to power locally relevant AI applications. #AI #AfricaTech @KateKallot @RISARwanda @QTSoftwareltd @bscrw

    Global partnerships matter. Local ownership matters more. “A common sovereignty story … African, European, Taiwanese.” Thank you @EmmanuelMacron for naming what this partnership stands for. Together with Foxconn and Bull, we are building modular AI data centres designed for African realities, expanding local compute capacity and strengthening sovereign AI infrastructure. @AminiTech @WilliamsRuto #AfricaForwardSummit2026

    RT @AminiTech: Constraint isn’t a limitation. It’s a design principle. Innovation in the #GlobalSouth starts with constraint, not abundance, and that changes how systems are built. In her conversation with @BBC Business Daily, our Founder & CEO @KateKallot shares what it means to build in this reality. At @AminiTech, this has shaped our approach: treating data, compute, and connectivity as one AI infrastructure stack from day one. 🎙️Listen to the full episode →

    RT @SkollFoundation: If AI is to serve us all, it must be built by us all. That’s the message that @KateKallot, Founder and CEO of @AminiTech, brought to the #SkollWF. In her work building data infrastructure across Africa and the Global South, Kallot reminds us that the promise of AI depends on inclusive participation in its development. Yet millions of people are excluded not only from building AI systems, but even from contributing their cultures and conversations to train the models. Watch the rest of Kallot’s talk to learn how she’s going beyond inclusivity to achieve true data sovereignty for countries and leaders worldwide—leveraging local talent to ensure the AI revolution benefits everyone, no matter where they call home:

I was thrilled to present the TIME100 Impact Award to @alexisohanian, who spoke to investing in the future of women’s sports, and said, “Believe me, the rise of women's sports is just getting started. It ain't charity. It is business. It is excellence.” Thank you to @capitalcom and NMDC Group for partnering with @TIME on this event during the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Grand Prix weekend. And congratulations to @ZBrownCEO and the entire McLaren team on an incredible F1 win! Find highlights here:

    Honored to be named a @TIME 100 Impact Awards recipient alongside @alexisohanian, @JamieJSalter, & @ZBrownCEO. Three years ago I left big tech to go home, and Little did I know that "going home" would mean helping build AI infrastructure across Africa & the Global South, fighting for data sovereignty, compute access, and the right for our nations to refine our own intelligence instead of exporting it raw. Grateful to @TIME, my family, my team at @AminiTech, our partners & young developers across the Global Majority. This award belongs to all of you.

    RT @OneYoungWorld: “It’s completely unrealistic to think that every single technology models that we're building here actually can be applied everywhere else in the world. There will be communities that will be impacted very negatively. I had to move to Nairobi, get down in the continent and really, truly understand what were the challenges, the needs of the communities locally, because you can't solve something that you can't see.” @KateKallot #OYW24
