The Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA) has launched a public consultation for the draft of the country’s first principles for AI legislation. The new bill has been designed to implement tiered regulation based on risk levels. High-risk AI systems will be subject to stringent measures, while general AI applications will follow best practice guidelines. Key considerations include AI accountability, algorithmic transparency, and safeguards for AI systems that may impact human rights. The use of high-risk AI systems, particularly in healthcare, finance, and government services, will require transparent oversight, specialised regulatory bodies, and adaptive governance to keep pace with technological advancements. The consultation closes on 9 June 2025.
