Kiswahili translation coming soon.
Quick answer
AI Quest teaches practical AI literacy — prompt engineering, tool selection, critical evaluation, and responsible use — with KSh pricing and M-Pesa subscription for Kenyan learners, and Kiswahili explanations alongside English.
Why AI literacy matters in Kenya
Kenya's BPO sector employs tens of thousands of people and is being restructured by AI; simultaneously, Kenyan tech talent is among the most sought-after remote hires globally. AI literacy is therefore both a defensive skill (protect your current role) and an offensive one (earn more as an AI-augmented worker). Kenya's Ministry of ICT has also highlighted AI skills in the Kenya National Digital Master Plan 2022–2032.
Regulation and responsible use
AI governance in Kenya is evolving. The Data Protection Act 2019 (ODPC) governs personal data in training and inference. The Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act covers misuse. GeraQuest curriculum explicitly covers responsible use, data privacy, and avoiding unlawful collection — framed for Kenyan regulatory context.
