The government has identified industry-led digital skills training as a critical pillar in the successful implementation of Kenya's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy 2025-2030.
Information, Communications and the Digital Economy Principal Secretary Eng. John Kipchumba Tanui said the country must invest in practical, market-driven education to produce the workforce needed for an increasingly AI-powered economy.
Speaking during Moringa School's graduation ceremony in Nairobi, Kipchumba said Kenya has made a deliberate decision to position itself as a producer of digital innovation rather than merely a consumer of emerging technologies.
