A'ja Wilson, TIME100 Sports honoree, is the first Black WNBA player to get her own sneaker in 14 years, since Candace Parker in 2011. We asked her how she felt about it. This is just a cherry on top of the mind-blowing 2025 Wilson had. The Las Vegas Aces superstar won a record fourth WNBA MVP award. She became the fastest player in league history to reach 5,000 points. And she became the first player in WNBA or NBA history to—deep breath—win a championship, claim the scoring title, and be named Finals MVP, league MVP, and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season. Wilson is on this year’s TIME100 Sports list. From athletes and coaches to advocates and investors, see who else made the list: time-magazine.visitlink.me/X…

Africa is home to less than 1% of the world's data centres. What would it take to change that from within? That is the terrain Kate Kallot @KateKallot works in every day, and she brings it to the Deep Learning Indaba 2026 stage in Lagos this August. Kate is Founder and CEO of @AminiTech, the AI company building sovereign data infrastructure for Africa and the wider Global South. Her work is about letting nations own and build on their own data, compute and models rather than exporting all three and buying the results back. Before Amini she held leadership roles across the chip industry, leading global developer relations and emerging-markets expansion at NVIDIA, shaping the Tiny Machine Learning movement at Arm, and at Intel leading the development of the Neural Compute Stick, the first AI development kit in a USB form factor. She is a hashtag#TIME100 Impact Award honoree and was named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People in AI, as well as a World Economic Forum Tech Pioneer. She serves as Vice Chair of the ICC Global Environmental and Energy Commission and on EY's Global AI Advisory Council. Her talk, "Sovereign intelligence in practice: enabling both research and deployment", turns on a practical question. What does sovereign intelligence actually look like once you have to build it, run it and deploy it on your own terms? 📌 Invited Talk Monday, 3 August, 12 pm GMT 1 In Lagos and online. Registrations for the Virtual Indaba are still open! 👉 Register: deeplearningindaba.com/2026/… #DLI2026 #Indaba2026 #SovereignAI
