What Kenya's National AI strategy means for the tech and mobile industry

Kenya's AI Strategy (2025- 2050) is ambitious, aiming to make the country a continental hub. From an industry perspective. This strategy signals a major inflection point. For a while, we have treated AI as a peripheral concept, something in labs or back-end systems. This strategy brings AI into focus as a national priority, and for the mobile industry, that's deeply relevant. Smartphones and wearables are where most people will first experience AI; whether through personalized interfaces, voice recognition, or health tracking. The strategy positions mobile devices not just as communication tools, but as foundational AI infrastructure for access, education, and innovation. The Samsung Galaxy S24 series, launched in January 2024, introduced several unique and standout features especially in the realm of AI, which became a core selling point. In 2025, Samsung pushed the boundaries of AI even further with the launch of the Galaxy S25 series.
