Kenya has been placed fifth in Africa on AI preparedness in new global rankings by the World Trade Organisation (WTO). The WTO assessment positions Kenya behind Seychelles, Mauritius, South Africa, and Tunisia, while placing the country 77th globally out of 132 nations assessed.
The ranking adds to a growing body of international assessments that increasingly place Kenya among Africa’s upper tier on emerging technology preparedness, even as structural gaps continue to constrain full-scale AI deployment.
