    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, those who invented the use of computers were not competing with the Almighty. The Almighty God has created human beings, animals and the angels. In my religion, the human being has been given two distinctive abilities. The right to think, that is why God says he allows you to discern what is good and what is right. And you, as an individual, are in a position to either go astray and follow the wrong or follow the right. One of the things that mankind has done is to be innovative enough, to be creative enough and use computers. What this Motion attempts to do first of all, is acknowledge that we are in the era of AI. The second thing that this Motion attempts to acknowledge is that there is a need to have a friendly, institutional-driven framework that will allow the user of the AI not to infringe on the rights of others. This is why all of us are believers in our Constitution. We accept that we have a Constitution and that is our supreme law in the Republic of Kenya. Within that Constitution, people are allowed the right to belong to the religion of their choice, the right to associate with whoever they want, as long as they do not infringe the rights of other persons. So, what this Motion is trying to do is, first of all, to create public awareness. Are Kenyans aware of the AI presence in their midst? Are Kenyans aware of both the advantages and the disadvantages of AI? In our modern-day Kenya, the unregulated use of AI has greatly caused public disturbances, serious security challenges and to some extent infringement of our sovereign rights as citizens and country. While we accept that AI must foster an efficient and effective use of computers instead of a manual application by mind, we, as a country, must also be prepared that certain shortcuts in the use of AI and what we have seen recently, can greatly endanger the lives and properties of Kenyans.
