en.Wedoany.com Reported - Kenya has completed training 280 diplomats on the safe and ethical use of generative artificial intelligence.

The recently concluded "Virtual Sensitisation Training on Cyber Hygiene and Responsible Use of GenAI" was organized by Kenya's Ministry of Foreign Affairs through its Information Communication Technology Directorate, in collaboration with the Kenya Cybersecurity and Forensics Association and the Office of the Technology Envoy. The training aimed to bridge the gap between the benefits and associated risks of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in diplomatic work. As Kenya advances its technology diplomacy agenda, the training also seeks to modernize diplomats' use of technology while safeguarding national interests and institutional integrity. These diplomats are drawn from Kenya's missions and embassies around the world.

Kenya's Special Envoy for Technology and Digital Transformation, Philip Thigo, stated that discussions covered cyber hygiene when using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, and Grok, emphasizing that diplomats must never input sensitive information into public AI platforms. Thigo said that generative AI can support research, drafting, translation, scenario analysis, and communication in diplomatic work, but must be used with discipline, judgment, and institutional safeguards. He made it clear that sensitive information, official positions, and confidential diplomatic materials should never be used on these platforms. The training stressed that while GenAI can enhance efficiency, human judgment must always remain at the core of diplomatic decision-making, and sensitive information must be protected. As Kenya continues to strengthen its technology diplomacy, building diplomats' capacity for responsible AI use has become part of safeguarding national interests, institutional integrity, and public trust.
