Kenya is initiating regulations for artificial intelligence (AI) to balance technology adoption and misuse prevention. The Ministry of ICT and Digital Economy has introduced the draft Kenya National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2025-2030, aiming to create a governance framework for sectors like agriculture, security, and healthcare. This strategy also seeks to ensure responsible and ethical AI use, especially as critics leverage technology for dissent.

The ministry emphasizes the need for safeguards against data misuse and public skepticism towards AI technologies, highlighting the importance of aligning AI development with human rights and Kenyan values.
