UNGA 81: What new global AI rules could mean for Kenya’s jobs, data and digital economy
As world leaders and policymakers gather for the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 81), artificial intelligence has emerged as a major issue in discussions about the future of the global economy, governance and development. For Kenya, the debate is not simply about regulating a fast-growing technology. It could influence how the country protects data, prepares workers for AI-driven changes, attracts investment and ensures that local businesses benefit from the technology.
The President of the 81st UN General Assembly, Khalilur Rahman, has made digital governance and AI one of his priority areas, calling for developing countries to have a greater role in shaping international rules on data governance, online rights and digital platforms. The UN discussions come as AI adoption accelerates across economies.
