Morocco's Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates Nasser Bourita will chair on Thursday by videoconference, a ministerial meeting of the Peace and Security Council of the African Union (AU-PSC) on “Artificial intelligence and its impact on peace, security and governance in Africa”.
This meeting, to be held under the Moroccan Presidency of the Peace and Security Council of the African Union in March 2025, will be attended by foreign ministers from PSC member countries, as well as experts and representatives of specialized institutions, to examine the opportunities and challenges linked to artificial intelligence and its impact on peace, security and governance in Africa.
This meeting, the first of its kind at ministerial level, is a continuation, at African level, of the Kingdom's international efforts to promote the rational and responsible use of artificial intelligence for peace, security and development.
These efforts were crowned by the adoption, in 2024, of the United Nations General Assembly resolution N°A/78/L.49 on this theme, at the joint initiative of Morocco and the United States.
Positioning itself as a major player in the field of artificial intelligence, Morocco moved up 11 places in 2024 in the Global Digitalization Index world ranking, and ambitions to be among the African leaders in this field by 2030.
Morocco's breakthroughs in the field of AI provides a high profile of the Kingdom on the African continent, predisposing it to become an AI and digital hub in the region.
