The inaugural National AI Conference, held under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, was launched on Tuesday in Rabat, bringing together a distinguished group of public and private sector stakeholders, experts, and representatives of international organizations.
Organized by the Ministry of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform under the theme "An efficient and ethical AI strategy to serve our society," the conference aims to outline a national strategy for sovereign AI, one that is tailored to the needs of the population and strategic sectors, and aligned with the High Royal Guidelines.
Over two days, this landmark national gathering involves representatives from various ministries and public institutions, the private sector, investment and sovereign funds, Moroccan startups, as well as international figures from academia, civil society, and the Moroccan diaspora.
The conference is structured around 13 thematic areas where AI is expected to have the most transformative impact for Morocco. These include administrative reform and modernization, education and new learning methods, sports, healthcare and precision medicine, smart agriculture, and fisheries production.
Other key themes include Industry X.0, security and sovereignty, culture and creativity, media and democracy, international cooperation, governance, trust and ethics, innovation and startups, as well as infrastructure and investment.
The first day of the conference focuses on sector-specific technical sessions and demonstrations by innovative AI-driven startups, while the second addresses the political dimensions and international cooperation related to AI.
The closing ceremony will provide a platform to present the key recommendations emerging from the two days of discussions and to formalize several memorandums of understanding with both national and international organizations.
