    "content": "based in Kenya with a mission to promote computing in institutions and communities through robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), physical computing, maker space, Internet of Things (IoT), STEAM, chess education and research. The Petitioner further states that the fields of robotics and Artificial Intelligence are rapidly growing with the potential to revolutionise many industries, including healthcare, manufacturing and retail, and improve human lives in many ways ranging from increasing efficiency to creating new jobs and businesses. Despite the upside of artificial intelligence, the Petitioner highlights privacy, security and civil rights concerns. A case in point is the World Coin platform, which has been criticised for its lack of security and privacy features. He explains that to tackle those challenges, the European Union (EU) has developed the Artificial Intelligence Act, which is expected to be fully approved by the end of the year. The use of artificial intelligence in the EU will be regulated by the world’s first comprehensive law on artificial intelligence. The Petitioner, therefore, prays that the National Assembly enacts legislation to formally establish the Kenya Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Society as a professional body which will immensely assist in regulating, promoting and facilitating the activities of robotics and Artificial Intelligence practices in the country. Hon. Members, having established that the matters raised in the Petition are well within the authority of this House; and further that the matters raised in this Petition are not pending before any court of law, constitutional or legal body, I hereby commit the Petition to the Public Petitions Committee for consideration pursuant to Standing Order 208A. The Committee is required to consider the Petition and report its findings to the House and Petitioner in accordance with Standing Order 227(2). I thank you."
