Morocco's Minister Delegate in charge of Digital Transition and Administration Reform, Ghita Mezzour, has reiterated the country's advocacy for a responsible artificial intelligence (AI) framework grounded in ethics and algorithmic transparency. The statements were made during the opening of the second edition of the AI & Digital Sovereignty Summit, held in Marrakech on Monday, April 7, 2026.
Minister Mezzour emphasized that Morocco's approach to AI development is firmly anchored in humanist values, aiming to ensure technology serves humanity while mitigating risks. She highlighted the importance of international cooperation and the establishment of clear governance structures to build public trust in AI systems.
The summit, a key event on the global tech calendar, brings together policymakers, industry leaders, and experts to discuss the ethical and regulatory challenges of AI. Morocco's active role in these discussions positions it as a regional voice advocating for a balanced approach between innovation and fundamental rights.
This stance aligns with broader global movements, such as the UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of AI, which Morocco has supported. The minister's address underscores the nation's strategic focus on integrating digital advancement with a strong ethical compass as it pursues its digital transition.
