According to John Kimemia, Executive Chair of Rift Valley Institute of Business Studies (RVIBS), the AI discussion is timely for Kenya’s education system.

“AI is here with us and will revolutionise everything. As education stakeholders, we must align our training to ensure an AI-ready workforce,” Kimemia said.

The event, hosted by RVIBS, will take place at St. Mary’s Pastoral and Conference Centre in Nakuru.

The conference comes at a time when debate on the role of AI in education, parenting, and careers is intensifying.

Globally, there is ongoing discussion on whether AI will replace human roles in certain careers or open up new opportunities.
