Kenya is stepping up efforts to integrate artificial intelligence into government services as the country continues its digital transformation. A new partnership with Anthropic is expected to strengthen cooperation in AI research, training, safety and system evaluation.
The agreement will also cover sectors such as healthcare and education. Kenyan institutions and Anthropic will work together to develop local expertise and explore AI applications adapted to the country’s needs. The initiative also aims to ensure that emerging technologies respect Kenyan laws and reflect local institutional and linguistic realities.
Meanwhile, Kenya is expanding its international cooperation on digital technologies. A recent agreement with Stanford University’s Hoover Institution focuses on improving the use of data, artificial intelligence and digital tools within public administration.
Furthermore, these initiatives support Kenya’s AI Strategy 2025–2030, which sets out the country’s broader objectives for developing and adopting artificial intelligence. The government is also expanding the eCitizen platform, improving broadband connectivity and introducing digital systems designed to improve coordination between public institutions.
Finally, workforce development remains a major challenge. Millions of jobs in Kenya are expected to require digital skills by 2030, including both basic and advanced capabilities. Training workers and strengthening technological expertise will therefore be important as the country expands AI across its public sector.
