Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various sectors across Kenya, from agriculture to retail and finance. This technological shift is driving unprecedented efficiencies and productivity gains, positioning Kenya as a fertile ground for AI adoption in Africa.

• AI is being used by farmers in areas like Sugoi and Baringo to determine profitable crops, such as coffee, even in semi-arid regions, leading to economic recovery and increased high-value exports to address trade imbalances.
• Retailers in Kapchepkor are leveraging AI to predict sales and manage inventory, while restaurants in Nairobi use it for order taking and stock monitoring, and dairies in Uasin Gishu employ sensors for quality control and demand forecasting.
• Kenyan businesses implementing AI report significant improvements, including up to 70% cost savings in enterprise systems and a 50% increase in EBITDA, while policymakers are urged to ensure inclusive growth and invest in digital literacy and infrastructure to make Kenya an AI leader.
