AI law & governance
Artificial intelligence is the most consequential legal frontier of our generation. African governments are writing the rules. Companies are deploying AI faster than regulators can respond. And the legal risks — from algorithmic discrimination to liability for AI-generated decisions — are accelerating daily. Bonyo Law stands at the centre of this moment.
SPEAK TO AN AI LAW SPECIALISTBonyo Law's founder is a leading contributor to the development of Africa's AI governance landscape. With direct experience advising governments, international organisations, and technology companies on AI policy, digital regulation, and internet governance, our team brings unmatched depth to every AI law instruction — from startup deployment to national regulatory strategy.
As Kenya finalises its National AI Strategy and the African Union advances continental AI governance frameworks, the window for proactive legal positioning is now. Companies that engage an AI law specialist today will navigate the coming regulatory environment with confidence. Those that wait will face costly retrofitting — or enforcement action.
AI law services
We help technology companies, public institutions, and investors build internal AI governance frameworks that align with emerging Kenyan, African Union, and international standards — including the EU AI Act (which has extraterritorial reach for AI deployed affecting EU persons) and the African Union AI Continental Strategy.
Kenya's Data Protection Act and the broader African data governance landscape impose obligations on organisations that use automated decision-making and profiling to affect individuals. Bonyo Law advises on transparency requirements, human oversight obligations, and the right to explanation — ensuring your AI deployments are legally defensible.
Who owns the output of an AI system? Who bears liability when an AI makes a damaging decision? These questions are not yet fully settled in law — but how your contracts are drafted today will determine your legal position when they are. Bonyo Law's AI contracts practice protects your IP, allocates liability appropriately, and future-proofs your commercial relationships.
For technology companies seeking to influence — or simply understand — Kenya's AI regulatory direction, Bonyo Law provides expert regulatory engagement support. Our founder's direct relationships with policymakers and regulators across Africa offer clients an unparalleled strategic advantage in navigating the AI governance landscape.
