Dear KICTANet Listers,

I hope this email finds you well and thriving in the new year!

I am reaching out to kindly invite you to review the *Draft Kenya AI Strategy 2025–2030*, as comments are due by *19th January 2024*. As professionals deeply invested in the well-being and advancement of our tech sector, it is pivotal that our collective opinions are heard in shaping this crucial strategy.

Artificial Intelligence is a revolutionary technology—offering immense opportunities for growth and innovation, while also presenting potential challenges. As such, it is vital that we ensure Kenya’s national AI strategy is both *robust* and *flexible*, providing a framework that fosters innovation without stifling creativity.

Your insights and expertise would be invaluable in shaping a strategy that positions Kenya as a leader in ethical and transformative AI.

Let us take this opportunity to contribute to a policy that reflects our shared vision for the future of Kenya’s technology sector.

Wishing you a wonderful start to the year!

Stay happy,

Mutheu. *The Kenyan Draft AI Strategy 2025-2030 can viewed via this link ...https://ict.go.ke/sites/default/files/2025-01/Kenya%20National%20AI%20Strate... <https://ict.go.ke/sites/default/files/2025-01/Kenya%20National%20AI%20Strategy%20%28Draft%29%20for%20Public%20Validation%20%20%5B14-01-2025%5D.pdf> *
