The Regional Validation Workshop on the EAC Artificial Intelligence Strategy has officially kicked off this morning in Kampala Uganda. The meeting is being co-convened by the EAC @jumuiya, and EASTECO, with support from @eacgiz under the EAC AI Alliance Programme. The two-day workshop brings together key stakeholders from across the region to review, refine, and validate the EAC Artificial Intelligence Strategy (2026โ2031). This milestone engagement follows extensive regional consultations in all EAC Partner States and marks a critical step toward establishing a harmonized, inclusive, and forward-looking AI framework for the region. Over the next two days, participants from government, academia, research institutions, and the private sector will work collectively to shape a Strategy that will guide the responsible adoption of AI, strengthen regional collaboration, and unlock innovation-driven growth across East Africa.




This morning, I joined colleagues and regional stakeholders at Hotel Africana ๐บ๐ฌ for the official opening of the Regional Validation Workshop on the EAC Artificial Intelligence Strategy (2026โ2031), convened by @easteco1 in collaboration with @jumuiya and @eacgiz. This workshop provides a critical regional platform to review and validate a common framework for the responsible, inclusive, and ethical development, governance, and deployment of Artificial Intelligence across East Africa. It comes at a time when there is growing continental momentum to harness AI for developmentโwhile also addressing risks such as algorithmic bias, privacy concerns, job displacement, and digital inequality.
