Kenya, often nicknamed the "Silicon Savannah" for its vibrant tech landscape, is steadily embracing Artificial Intelligence (AI) across various sectors.
From business to education, AI is becoming an integral part of daily life.
In urban markets, AI-generated art has found its way into commerce, with street vendors printing and selling AI-designed images.
On a larger scale, companies like Safaricom have adopted AI technologies to streamline services, including customer support through virtual assistants like 'Zuri'.
Academic institutions are also stepping into the AI space. Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), through its JHub digital innovation centre, is supporting young innovators in creating AI-based solutions tailored to local problems and helping them turn these innovations into businesses.
