By the end of this year, nearly seven in ten companies in Kenya hope to be fully using artificial intelligence. A new global survey by KPMG shows that while enthusiasm for AI has grown sharply, only 26 per cent of firms in Kenya say they have fully adopted the technology so far. “Scaling is where things become complicated,” the report notes, adding that financial returns vary widely between firms. While 88 per cent of companies surveyed say they are investing in so-called agent-based AI systems, only 24 per cent report consistent returns across several uses. Even so, 90 per cent say they plan to expand partnerships with technology firms in the coming year.
