Hi Ronald, I will attempt to address the questions in no particular order. 1. I think the current policy was developed in a forwad thinking manner. It would also be nice to find out the status of the revised policy. I am not sure whether Ali Hussein got any feedback from the humble requests he had made to the Ministry on the state of the revised Policy in any case we are doing fine. 2. Artificial Intelligence is already here. Many Kenyans are already using artificial intelligence in Agriculture (automated Irrigation Systems). Many drivers are also relying on google maps to manage traffic and travel related issues. 3. There is need to create more awareness and build capacity on how various sectors such as Agriculture, Manufacturing can benefit from Artificial Intelligence. AI is largely being used by the urbanite and has not been embraced fully by the citizenry beyond our major towns and cities. With rural electrification , the conversation should be extended to Rural areas. I am also keen to understand whether there is any organization that has implemented the TV Whitespace technology locally and the requirements for the communications authority for any organization that may want to deploy the technology for use in building community networks.

Morning listers,
Today, a range of technologies such as artificial intelligence, immersive tech, biotech, autonomous robots, green energy and space travel etc— have entered the mainstream and begun to fundamentally disrupt business, geopolitics and everyday life around the world. During the next decade, we expect to start transitioning into the next era of computing and connected devices, in which we will wear and will command using our voices, gestures and touch.
As the world rapidly technologically evolves,
- How are these trends being adopted locally?
- What are the challenges faced in adopting these technologies locally ?
- Do local policies cover these technologies?
- What are the local measures that can be put in place to promote local innovation in future tech?
Lets engage,
Regards,
Ronald Ojino
