Strathmore University released research titled Mapping Policies and Structures for Kenya's Preparedness for Digital Agriculture which aims at espousing the development of a regulatory and policy environment that can enable the development of smart farming in Kenya and Africa at large. The study, which was commissioned by Microsoft, argues that Kenya's agricultural output could be boosted by leveraging digital technologies to support smallholder farmers to improve productivity and enhance access to supply chains and value addition. 'The paper addresses two regulatory and policy-based questions. First is 'what are the critical regulatory and policy frameworks that can drive digitisation and agricultural transformation in Kenya?' The second is 'what are the best policies that can enable Big Data and AI to drive agricultural transformation as envisioned by the government, thus enabling Kenya to utilise its limited agricultural resources more efficiently, become food-secure and build prosperous agribusiness sectors?,' noted Microsoft Kenya Country Manager Kendi Nderitu.

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Road Safety Jean Todt, and the Office of the UN Envoy on Technology kicked off a new initiative dubbed Artificial Intelligence for Road Safety initiative with a special focus on inclusive solutions for low- and middle-income countries where most road fatalities occur. To this aim, the initiative promotes an AI-enhanced 'safe system' approach to reduce fatalities based on six pillars: road safety management, safer roads and mobility, safer vehicles, safer road users, post-crash response, and speed control. 'The disproportionate number of road deaths in developing countries is yet another example of why the benefits of new technologies must reach everyone, everywhere,' highlighted ITU Secretary-General Houlin Zhao. The initiative covers a number of activities including series of webinars, challenges/competitions on AI for Road Safety, AI for Road Safety readiness landscape, and ITU Focus Group on AI for Autonomous and Assisted Driving.
