    EXPLORING HOW YOUTHS IN KENYA ARE USING CHATBOTS IN THEIR DAILY LIFE ROUTINE ’S TO SOLVE UNEMPLOYMENT: A CASE OF CHAT-GPT
    (Gretsa University, 2025-11) GUCHU, WILSON WANJA
    This This research investigates how Kenyan youth are applying ChatGPT—an advanced AI chatbot—to address unemployment and improve their financial wellbeing. The study begins by outlining the expanding role of artificial intelligence across various sectors and its potential to reduce youth joblessness in Kenya. It identifies key economic challenges such as high unemployment and limited access to job opportunities. The study’s objectives include assessing AI awareness among youth, evaluating ChatGPT’s impact on job readiness and entrepreneurship, and identifying barriers to its daily use. The central hypothesis posits that ChatGPT enhances job search efficiency and supports skill development. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with participants aged 18–35 from diverse backgrounds. Quantitative data were analyzed statistically, while qualitative responses were examined thematically. Results indicate that ChatGPT contributes positively to employment efforts, though its impact could be expanded through improved digital literacy and broader internet access. The study recommends targeted training programs and infrastructure investment to support wider AI adoption. Future research should explore long-term and comparative studies to better understand ChatGPT’s sustained influence on employment and skill-building among Kenyan youth
