    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that, the world is rapidly embracing Artificial Intelligence (AI) which is the use of digital computer or computer controlled robots to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent things; acknowledging that the 2022 Government Artificial Readiness Index reported that Kenya ranked 5th in Africa and 90th globally in readiness to adopt AI; further acknowledging that the Oxford Insight Survey 2022 pegged Kenyans 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 health care, manufacturing and robotics; concerned that the exponential rate at which AI is being embraced in the society without proper regulatory mechanisms has caused various negative consequences such as rising cases of disinformation and fake news; noting there is need to protect Kenyans from the potential AI instigated harm such as privacy breaches, AI powered fake technology algorithmic discrimination, autonomous weapons, jobs displacement, uneconomic 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 Communication to: (a) Formulate a regulatory framework and ethical guidelines for implementation of Artificial Intelligence in the country to control its potential misuse; and, (b) Develop and execute a public awareness programme on artificial intelligence to raise understanding of AI as well as foster transparency and promote responsible use of AI for the benefit of all."
