Kenya Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2025-2030: requirements, deadlines and compliance actions
What is Kenya Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2025-2030?
Kenya's first national AI strategy sets a five-year agenda built on three pillars: AI digital infrastructure, data and AI governance, and AI research, innovation and commercialisation. It aligns with the Kenya National Digital Masterplan 2022-2032 and priorities sectors such as agriculture, health and education. A separate implementation roadmap was later published by the ministry.
