    "content": "notches higher, both in Africa and in the world. Without regulation and a framework within which we can ensure that any use and readiness of AI is adopted, it becomes dangerous especially in the age and era where we are dealing with fake news, economic inequalities, displacements and misinformation that have become the norm. In the same year, the Oxford Insights survey pegged Kenya’s readiness for AI at 40.3 per cent. If the index were done today, we could be far above 60 per cent. Therefore, this regulation could not have come at a better time. Kenyans and the world at large should appreciate and take advantage of AI. When computers first came into use, between 1956 and 1980, many people used to see big machines called mainframes. Today, the computer is a very tiny thing and we cannot survive without it. AI is quickly taking shape and root in many of our activities. We travel a lot. A quick example of where AI is properly used is at airports. When moving from one terminal to another, you use driverless trains. That is AI at play. And we trust the train to take us safely to the other terminal without wondering how it is moving without a driver. This is the case with other technologies. In medicine today, you do not have to travel long distances to get good medical attention. Within the comfort of your home or country, you can access the best doctors and best medical services through AI. I cannot mention all sectors; every sector of our economy and lives is now being taken over by AI. As a country, we cannot be left behind. We cannot shut ourselves out of AI. We must live with it and move with the society. For AI not to be misused, formulation of this framework or regulation is very important. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to reply. Thank you."
