"content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a new thing. We are in a time when everything has to go digital. I was brought up at a time when things were analogue. We must appreciate the changing times and trends. I know its importance is immense in terms of decision-making, automating tasks, analysing vast data that we cannot handle mechanically, improving efficiency and bringing out the best in customer experience. We cannot enumerate the importance of AI. However, we are moving into a time when we are nearly phasing out the human species. We are becoming robots. We will lose our uniqueness and originality—that which makes us different from all other creatures. We are endowed with natural intellect. If everything becomes available at our fingertips, we will lose that innate endowment and intelligence. Inasmuch as we accommodate AI, it must be done with caution. Even the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) is facing serious challenges in terms of uniqueness. Grades A and B's that used to be rare during our time have become common yet students cannot justify those grades. That is sufficient to realise that we are trying to copy-paste. You pose a question to AI on any gadget and it gives you a raft of answers and copy-paste. That is the kind of generation we are looking forward to. If it is good, then it is good for the military at best, like in what is happening between Israel and Iran, but not for a normal life. As much as I am reluctantly accepting this, because it is good, we will diminish as human beings. It is like another Genetically Modified Organism of a human being, not a natural thing. So, I reluctantly accept. Let us accommodate it, but with a lot of caution. I support. Thank you."
