🏙️ AI can reshape our cities. But will everyone have a place in them?
If AI is built into cities #accessibility & #inclusion must be built in from day one
That’s the conversation we are bringing to #DigitalUNGA

I joined the AI for Good workshop on Cities That Think and Act, on how agentic AI, physical AI and the Citiverse are changing the way cities serve their people.
My message was simple. Kenya's smart city story did not begin with sensors. It began with a payment. M-Pesa taught millions of Kenyans to trust digital services, and that trust is the foundation every city system must earn.
I shared how we are building on it: Konza Technopolis as a long term investment in smart urban infrastructure, broad public engagement before major deployments, and legal safeguards that keep a human accountable for every decision a machine informs.
The ITU launched new tools and standards for people-centred smart cities, now reaching over 300 cities worldwide. Kenya will keep contributing to that work, because the choices cities make on AI today will decide who benefits from it tomorrow.
