The retreat brought together experts and key institutional stakeholders to collaboratively develop a comprehensive policy framework aimed at guiding the ethical, responsible, and effective adoption of Generative AI technologies within the university.

The sessions provided a platform for in-depth discussions, alignment of institutional priorities, and the formulation of strategic guidelines that balance innovation with accountability. Participants engaged in critical dialogue on governance, implementation, and best practices to ensure the integration of AI supports teaching, learning, research, and administrative functions.

Under the coordination of Prof. S. Ngigi, the retreat fostered a collaborative and forward-thinking environment, resulting in a draft framework that reflects both institutional needs and global trends in AI adoption. The outcomes of the retreat are expected to inform policy direction and strengthen the university’s capacity to leverage AI technologies responsibly.
