Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has urged the government to invest in training the youth on Artificial Intelligence to help address the shortage of jobs among young people.

According to Mr Odinga, AI technology is increasingly becoming part of everyday life in Kenya, serving as a tool for information gathering, research, and even economic opportunities.
