Samasource has announced fresh plans to recruit over 2,000 Kenyans to do content moderation and data training for artificial intelligence models, even before the dust could settle on its recently concluded court battle with former employees.

Cabinet Secretary for Industry, Trade and Investments, Moses Kuria, after meeting with Samasource CEO Wendy Gonzalez last week, said the US-based business process outsourcing company will hire at least 2,100 Kenyans by end of September, terming it “the right decision”.
