INTRODUCTION
Kenya is positioning itself as Africa’s digital and AI hub, highlighted by the rollout of the National AI Strategy (2025–2030) alongside the implementation of the Data Protection Act (2019), the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act (2018), and the KEBS Draft Code of Practice for AI Applications. While AI promises to revolutionize public service delivery from predictive healthcare and precision agriculture to automated tax administration, it also presents operational, legal, and ethical risks. Public service leaders require actionable capacity to govern, evaluate, and deploy AI solutions responsibly while safeguarding constitutional rights, public trust, and data sovereignty.
