Kenya will host the 4th Responsible AI in the Military Domain (REAIM) Summit in Nairobi in April 2027. The event will convene global leaders and experts to discuss the responsible application of artificial intelligence in security and defence.
The announcement was made in Geneva by Ambassador Philip Thigo, President William Ruto’s Special Envoy on Technology, who represented Defence Cabinet Secretary Soipan Tuya at the AI, Security and Ethics Conference.
“Kenya looks forward to welcoming the global community to Nairobi for this important conversation on AI, security and international peace and security,” he said.
Ambassador Thigo stated that the summit will concentrate on the practical implementation of responsible AI. Key areas of focus will include capacity building, institutional preparedness, international cooperation, and enhanced collaboration among governments, defence organisations, industry, academia, and international bodies.
The summit is expected to further solidify Kenya’s standing as a regional and global centre for technology policy, innovation, and digital governance.
