As artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes the global technological landscape, understanding public perceptions and readiness becomes crucial. So, how are Kenyans perceiving and using AI? What does it mean for businesses, government and policymakers, technology companies, and organizations navigating the AI revolution?
To answer these questions and more, GeoPoll ran a wide-ranging, nationally representative survey via Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI), as part of a bigger, upcoming whitepaper on the impact of AI on research. The findings offer valuable insights for decision-makers and innovators alike. Some key findings include:
- Growing but limited AI awareness, with only 32% of Kenyans aware of AI, but those most familiar with AI are significantly using it.
- With fears that AI threatens an already low employment rate, over 75% of respondents believe AI should be carefully managed and regulated, but very few would support a ban.
- AI is being applied across a diverse set of functions, primarily in areas related to information acquisition/research (37%) and content production (13%), but specialized, day-to-day applications of AI remain niche or less accessible to the general public.
- There are significant opportunities for AI education and adoption.
