NAIROBI, Kenya and NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Open University of Kenya (OUK) and MindHYVE.ai, Inc., a U.S.-based artificial intelligence company, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishing a strategic collaboration focused on advancing AI-powered learning enablement and academic innovation.
The collaboration explores the integration of ArthurAI™, MindHYVE.ai's proprietary agentic artificial intelligence system, into selected areas of OUK's digital learning ecosystem. The initiative is designed to support personalized learning, faculty enablement, data-driven curriculum innovation and workforce-aligned upskilling, positioning OUK as a leader in next-generation digital education across Africa.
Under the MoU, the parties will jointly explore implementation of ArthurAI as a virtual academic enabler, supporting learners and educators through adaptive, real-time learning assistance. The collaboration also includes curriculum co-design, impact evaluation, localization aligned with Kenya's education policy and adherence to the Kenya Data Protection Act (2019).
"This collaboration reflects the Open University of Kenya's commitment to innovation, access and academic excellence," said Professor Elijah Omwenga, Vice-Chancellor of the Open University of Kenya. "By exploring responsible AI-powered learning systems, we aim to enhance student success, empower faculty and strengthen Kenya's position as a digital education leader."
"OUK represents a bold and forward-looking model for higher education in the digital age," said Bill Faruki, Founder and CEO at MindHYVE.ai™. "This collaboration allows us to responsibly explore how agentic AI can support learning, teaching and workforce readiness—while maintaining transparency, ethics and local relevance."
