Kenya leads global AI adoption with 97.5% of online adults using AI monthly, driven by a new draft AI policy aiming to formalise the sector and build local language AI systems.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to engage Kenya’s new AI regulation process now as it aims to lead AI governance in Africa with local language focus and safety testing. Skipping early involvement risks missing Africa’s most active AI market opening.
