Kush’s here to talk about tech sovereignty - the kind that puts power back in the hands of the people. In a world of black-box algorithms, Kush is championing transparency and community-driven innovation. It's not just about access; it's about the freedom to break, remake, and own the tech that shapes our lives. Get a taste of his thinking here.
