"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.

"content": "There are different types of AI. One can be reactive. One can use a limited memory of the computer. Another one can also apply the theory of mind and play with the mindsets of different people. You can also use self-awareness. That is why you see different images, but you do not understand some of them. People of my age do not understand them, but the youngsters understand them. They have their own ways of doing things. Because of this, as a country and citizens, we must be prepared to use AI efficiently to reduce operational costs used to interpret data. First of all, its use will cause serious loss of jobs. It will contribute to the violation of individual right to privacy. You have seen it all being applied. Look at the headlines. Just open your social media accounts and you see the kind of things that go on. The youngsters also use their social media accounts to manipulate certain realities to suit certain circumstances, which may not be in the national interest and their long- term interest. There is also an abuse of algorithm in the application of this. Certain shortcuts are taken. It is also very difficult because you can see countries that have plunged into civil war or some global events that are happening right now because of social media. If you follow the social media accounts, you feel like the world is coming to an end, and we are almost on the verge of a third world war. You feel like Kenya is beginning to end, and there will be a civil war. You also feel like we do not have institutions. I hope my good friend, Hon. Marianne, will take this Motion to the next level. I know she will be criticised, but it will be positive criticism. You will be remembered later on. That is why I said we must think out of the box. Please translate this Motion and take it to the next level. Make it a Bill and allow the public to participate. Ultimately, we will come up with a Bill that stands the test of time and meets the sovereign interest of Kenyans. It will protect the rights of any individual, and contribute to the development of this great Republic. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support this Motion because it is very progressive. Please do not get tired. Go on and bring the Bill as soon as possible."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion briefly. I begin by congratulating my colleague, Hon. Marianne, for bringing this Motion on AI. At the outset, the world is evolving and it continues to do so. AI is an idea that time has come. There is nothing we can do about it. We have to embrace it. It has its benefits and challenges. It is already in practice. The only way that we can enjoy or benefit from AI is to regulate it. We have to control it, so that we benefit from it. A lot is being done by AI. When you go shopping, you get surprised at times. You have your visa card in the pocket and you just get close to the counter and tap it, and then everything is sorted. Money is removed from your card and you settle your bills. That is the work of AI. You pay for parking at times, and then you start driving your car. Before you get to the gate, it opens which is use of AI. Before it gets to security matters and many things on the wrong side, I agree it is time that we regulate it as quickly as possible so that we enjoy it. I congratulate my colleague and support this Motion. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary speaker. Let me also add my voice to those who support AI. I thank the sponsor of the Motion, Hon. Marianne. First of all, let me note that AI is very dangerous, if it is left to run and control itself. We see this on WhatsApp and Facebook. People abuse the opportunity to use the social media. We need to take up AI very quickly or fast enough so that it is regulated and controlled. The truth is that AI has already taken the world by storm. It exists and we are already using it. If we do not control it, it will damage and threaten the education system, in terms of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Whereas we celebrate AI, it comes with serious challenges, especially with the young people in this country. If it will not be regulated, it will spoil our generations and create very serious issues in this country. We have so many experiences. This Motion intends to allow the ministry concerned to formulate a regulatory framework that will guide use of AI, and also create public awareness in our communities. It has come at a good time. We also need to have infrastructure that will regulate the information that goes to the public. We also need to benchmark with many other countries, especially in the West, that have had AI for a long time. As we celebrate the benefits of AI, we should use it well. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support the Motion."
