Kenya's new AI-driven healthcare system, launched in October 2024, uses a predictive algorithm to calculate insurance contributions. The system overestimates incomes of poor households, resulting in unaffordable fees, denial of treatment, and harm to vulnerable populations. Widespread protests highlight the system's lack of transparency and negative impact.
