Morocco has officially launched a national white paper on artificial intelligence, outlining a strategic roadmap for the country's digital future. The document, presented by the Ministry of Digital Transition and Administration Reform, aims to position Morocco as a regional leader in AI by fostering an ecosystem that is both innovative and sovereign.
The strategy emphasizes the development of a "Moroccan model" of AI that is inclusive and respects national specificities. Key pillars include building local talent, encouraging research and development, and establishing a robust ethical and legal framework to govern AI use. The plan seeks to integrate AI across various economic sectors to boost competitiveness.
Government statements indicate the white paper is a foundational step toward creating a comprehensive national AI strategy. The initiative is part of Morocco's broader 2030 Digital Strategy, which aims to accelerate the country's digital transformation and technological sovereignty.
