Kenya is moving towards developing an official Artificial Intelligence (AI) policy following a stakeholder meeting at Daystar University. The discussions centered on the growing capabilities and risks of AI, informed by key findings from the International AI Safety Report 2026.

• The report reveals AI adoption is happening faster than previous technologies, with at least 700 million people using leading AI systems weekly.
• Key figures involved include Emmanuel Kata, Secretary of the ICT Security Directorate, and Professor Laban Ayiro, Vice Chancellor of Daystar University, alongside representatives from the British High Commission to Kenya.
• Kenya's AI policy is currently in the draft validation stage and will undergo public participation after approval by the Principal Secretary and Cabinet Secretary.
