“Over 90% of Ghanaian kidney failure patients who should receive dialysis are not getting it”

Ghana News, Health & Wellbeing
Over 90% of Ghanaian kidney failure patients who desperately need dialysis are being denied access to this life-saving treatment.

MoMo fraud is a user-centric challenge – Cyber Security Authority

Ghana News
The Lead National Computer Emergency Response Team of the Cyber Security Authority has provided insights into the issue of Mobile Money (MoMo) fraud, highlighting that it is primarily a challenge associated with users rather than a systemic flaw. Stephen Cudjoe Sesshie acknowledged that while Momo fraud is a multifaceted problem that has ensnared many individuals in various scams, the primary issue lies with the users of the service.

Nearly 1,000 people have died of dengue in Bangladesh in recent weeks, in what authorities say is the country's most severe outbreak of the disease yet.

Spotify will not ban AI-made music, says boss

International, Science & Technology
The boss of Spotify says he has no plans to completely ban content created by artificial intelligence from the music streaming platform. Earlier this year the platform pulled a track featuring AI-cloned voices of the performers Drake and The Weeknd. Daniel Ek told the BBC there were valid uses of the tech in making music - but AI should not be used to impersonate human artists without their consent. He said using AI in music was likely to be debated for "many, many years". Mr Ek, who rarely speaks to the media, said that he saw three "buckets" of AI use: tools such as auto-tune which improve music, which he believed were acceptabletools which mimic artists, which were notand a more contentious middle ground where music created by AI was clearly influenced by existing artists...

Amazon takes on Microsoft as it invests billions in Anthropic

International, Science & Technology
Amazon will invest up to $4bn (£3.3bn) in San Francisco-based AI firm Anthropic, mirroring the earlier tie-up between Microsoft and OpenAI. It is the latest multi-billion dollar investment in a race among the big tech firms to exploit the potential of artificial intelligence. Amazon recently said it would use AI to boost its Alexa voice assistant's conversational powers. Anthropic has its own ChatGPT rival called Claude.
