UltraRAG is a lightweight framework that makes building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems simple and fast. It uses a low-code approach where you write just dozens of lines of YAML configuration instead of complex code to create sophisticated AI workflows with conditional logic and loops. The framework includes a visual development environment where you can drag-and-drop to build pipelines, adjust parameters in real-time, and instantly convert your logic into interactive chat applications. This means you can deploy powerful AI systems that ground answers in your own data—reducing hallucinations and improving accuracy—without needing extensive coding expertise or lengthy development cycles.

#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."
