Activists Challenge AI Use in Courts

S 1 - 2 - 3 D I ID RK RT C - 0

Human rights activists have petitioned the High Court in Kerugoya seeking to halt the deployment of what they describe as high-risk artificial intelligence systems in Kenya. The petition argues that unregulated AI threatens constitutional rights, including privacy, equality, and electoral integrity, ahead of the 2027 polls. While the court certified the case as urgent, it declined to issue interim orders, instead scheduling a full hearing on February 19, 2026.
