In an era where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is integrating into different facets of daily life, the Kenyan government has said it is in the process of implementing robust safeguards to data privacy and security. The assurance by Information, Communication and the Digital Economy Cabinet Secretary Eliud Owalo comes at a time when the transformative potential of AI is being harnessed across the world amid growing concerns on the exposure of sensitive information to unauthorised access and use. Nation Media Group (NMG) CEO Stephen Gitagama said the company will adopt AI to enhance creativity and problem-solving. “The versatility of AI is amazing because we are harnessing that technology to improve efficiency and productivity with a human touch. We are also aware of issues touching on copyright, ethics and objectivity challenges and are being careful not to let AI be misused,” he said.
