With its pristine beaches, Stone Town\u2019s historic charm, and the vibrancy of the Masai people, Zanzibar is an island as alluring as it is elusive. It is here, after all, in this remote reach of the world so beautifully enveloped in nature that some of the greatest technological and digital advances aren\u2019t just explored, they\u2019re actualized. As compelling as it is promising, Zanzibar has found itself squarely on the threshold of open-source internet, the impact and implications of the teetering toddler that is AI, and digital sovereignty \u2014 data ownership and personal commodification on one\u2019s own terms \u2014 emerging technologies that offer a glimpse of a fast-approaching future.
In this collaborative series between HATCH and Hub Culture\u2019s The Chronicle Discussions, I Am Interchange founder Tate Chamberlin and groundbreaking digital innovators Hub Culture founding director Stan Stalnaker, machine learning engineer and Neurotech founder Kalebu Gwalugano, and ThreeFold founder and CEO Kristof De Spiegeleer explore the future of digital communities, Web 3, Machine Intelligence (MI), and all that humanity holds in the balance.\xa0
