MindHYVE.ai, DV8 Infosystems, and KICTANet Collaborate to Develop Kenya’s National AI Policy
On June 12, 2025, MindHYVE.ai, DV8 Infosystems, and KICTANet signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop Kenya’s National Artificial Intelligence Policy. This partnership marks a significant step in establishing ethical and sovereign AI governance aligned with Kenya’s constitutional, economic, and cultural priorities.
About the Partnership
The MoU creates a formal alliance between three key organizations focused on AI policy and technology:
- MindHYVE.ai: Based in Newport Beach, California, MindHYVE.ai specializes in advanced AI technologies, including large-scale reasoning models and swarm-intelligent orchestration systems. They are pioneers in agentic AGI, combining decentralized intelligence with ethical and adaptive AI at national and enterprise levels.
- DV8 Infosystems: Acting as MindHYVE.ai’s integration partner, DV8 designs and deploys multi-agent AI systems that support government transformation and regulatory compliance through orchestrated swarm intelligence.
- KICTANet: Kenya’s leading ICT policy think tank, KICTANet fosters a digital ecosystem that is inclusive, secure, and rights-based by promoting cooperation among government, industry, civil society, and academia.
Strategic Goals of the Collaboration
The partners will work together to refine Kenya’s National AI Strategy for 2025-2030. Their work includes contributing technical and ethical frameworks grounded in African realities and embedding participation mechanisms to ensure diverse stakeholder voices are heard. The outcome will be a comprehensive, publication-ready policy framework delivered to the Kenyan government.
A Joint Policy Task Team may be established to coordinate stakeholder input and liaise with government bodies, ensuring the policy remains inclusive and aligned with Kenya’s national interests.
Leadership Perspectives
Bill Faruki, Founder and CEO of MindHYVE.ai, emphasized the transformative nature of this initiative: “What we’re building is not a document. It’s a national protocol for intelligence itself. Kenya is positioning itself to set global AI trends, creating cognitive infrastructure that is sovereign by design and scalable by nature.”
Dr. Grace Githaiga, CEO of KICTANet, highlighted the importance of collaboration: “This MoU is a pivotal moment for Kenya’s responsible AI journey. We are pleased to partner with organizations that appreciate the societal impact of this policy and the need to get it right.”
Significance for Kenya and Beyond
This partnership places Kenya at the forefront of AI governance in Africa. By developing a sovereign and inclusive AI policy, Kenya can influence global standards and demonstrate leadership in ethical AI development that respects local contexts.
