Planning a Safari to Yankari Game Reserve? Here's What You Need to Know.

Come with me to Yankari Game Reserve  in #Bauchi State💕.  Wondering what to bring along?

The long road leading to the hotel is about an hour long, right in the middle of a forest. If your car stops, you may not find anyone to help you but you are very likely to find an animal crossing from one side of the road to the other.  It's not the time for a bathroom break.😁  If going to the game reserve itself be sure to wear long pants/trousers, long socks, long sleeve full coverage tops, covered shoes and at least a hand fan or scarf.

AI and the Changing Face of War: Implications for Civilians, Communicators, and Humanitarian Actors

Today's wars, such as the ongoing war in the Middle East, are now accompanied by artificial intelligence (AI) and shaped by algorithms. From the fighting between Hamas and Israel Defence Forces, to the broader regional tensions, artificial intelligence has quietly become big part of the battlefield. Modern warfare uses AI to process vast amounts of surveillance data; satellite imagery, communications, drone footage, at speeds humans cannot match. Algorithms help identify potential targets, detect patterns, and even predict possible movements, increasing precision and reducing civilian harm – theoretically. In densely populated places, errors can have devastating consequences. When decisions are accelerated by machines, the window for human judgment narrows. At the start of the war, about 160 innocent Iranian school children were killed from an explosion. AI is also transforming the information space. False and algorithm-driven narratives travel faster than verified facts. Deepfakes...
