The Agent Development Kit (ADK) is an open-source Python toolkit that helps you easily build, test, and deploy smart AI agents, from simple helpers to complex multi-agent systems. It lets you write agent logic in Python, use many built-in or custom tools, and organize multiple agents to work together. You can deploy agents anywhere, including Google Cloud, and evaluate their performance with built-in tools. ADK supports flexible workflows and works with various AI models, not just Google’s. This means you get full control and flexibility to create powerful AI applications that fit your needs, speeding up development and making it easier to manage AI projects.

#Policy_Brief: Coercion Over Consent: #Ethiopia’s dangerous mandatory Digital ID experiment
In this policy brief, Mohamed A. argues that Ethiopia's mandatory Digital ID (#Fayda) is a "flawed and dangerous policy," not because identification itself is problematic, but because enforcement lacks legal safeguards. He emphasizes that centralizing sensitive data risks turning governance into a tool of "surveillance, control, and exclusion."
According to him, Ethiopia is "importing the concept as if it were a proven model." In Ethiopia's fragile institutional context, this amounts to "recklessness disguised as modernization," especially with foreign funding raising unresolved questions about "who controls the data."
The author urges authorities to "pause enforcement" until trust and oversight are established, arguing that without them, mandatory ID is "not progress—it is a poorly designed and dangerous policy."
