Kenya Yearbook Editorial Board (KYEB) CEO Lilian Kimeto has advocated for robust oversight of artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure its effective use.
Ms Kimeto, who was speaking on Wednesday at a panel discussion on digitisation of Public Service during the Inaugural Africa Technology Leadership Conference 2025 in Eldoret, said oversight would enhance responsible application.
“You need social scientists like communicators for efficient AI use as there must be human oversight. The communicators will guide AI to ensure there no biases in communication,” she observed.
Ms Kimeto called for stronger collaboration between technologists and social scientists, adding, “I encourage technology experts to work with social scientists to align AI with human needs. At Kenya Yearbook, we process vast amounts of data and give it meaning. AI can assist, but human judgment remains indispensable.”
She noted that the Government has embraced digital technology to improve it
