Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has urged the government to invest in training the youth on Artificial Intelligence to help address the shortage of jobs among young people.

According to Mr Odinga, AI technology is increasingly becoming part of everyday life in Kenya, serving as a tool for information gathering, research, and even economic opportunities.

Addressing students at Bondo Technical Training Institute, the ODM party leader said the youth will be in high demand in the world's job market if they are equipped with AI skills. "Today, we have this technology called AI and it is helping people create wealth.

If we can train our young people on such skills, they will be on high demand around the world," said Mr Odinga.
