A three-day Eastern Africa Sub-Regional Forum on Artificial Intelligence (EARFAI) organised by the government in partnership with UNESCO opens in Nairobi this morning.

The event themed ‘Harnessing AI for Sustainable Development in Eastern Africa: Governance, Ethics, Capacities, and Partnerships’ brings together ministers from 15 countries and aims to explore AI’s potential to drive sustainable development and societal transformation in the region.
Key to EARFAI will be discussions on the concrete implementation of the Recommendation on the Ethics of AI, the to-date only global standard on AI with 193 countries adopting its provisions in 2021.
Through the Readiness Assessment Methodology (RAM), almost 60 countries are implementing the standard through a comprehensive diagnostic exercise, of which 22 are from Africa.
Gabriela Ramos, Assistant Director-General for Social and Human Sciences, will Head UNESCO’s delegation to the Forum, which will feature keynote speeches, panel discussions, and interactive workshops.
