"content": "THAT, aware that the world is rapidly embracing Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is the use of a digital computer or computer-controlled robots to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings; acknowledging that the 2022 Government Artificial Intelligence Readiness Index Report ranked Kenya fifth in Africa and 90th globally in readiness to adapt AI; further acknowledging that the Oxford Insights Survey Report 2022, pegged Kenya’s readiness to adopt AI at 40.3 per cent; appreciating that AI has brought forth positive benefits that have increased efficiency in different sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing and robotics; concerned that the exponential rate at which the AI is being embraced in society without proper regulatory mechanisms has caused various negative consequences such as rising cases of disinformation and fake news; noting that there is need to protect Kenyans from potential AI- instigated harms such as privacy breaches, AI-powered fake technology algorithms, algorithmic discrimination, autonomous weapons, job displacement and economic inequality, social manipulation and misinformation, financial market manipulation, and privacy invasion; now therefore, this House urges the Government, through the Ministry of Information, Communication and Digital Economy to: (a) formulate a regulatory framework and ethical guidelines for implementation of AI in the country to control potential misuse; and (b) develop and execute public awareness programme on AI to raise understanding of AI, foster transparency and promote responsible use of AI for the benefit of all."
