Artificial Intelligence for Openness of Parliament (MO0066)

What is the public issue to which this commitment responds?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing governance and institutional interactions. The House of Representatives of the Kingdom of Morocco faces a dual challenge: leveraging AI to strengthen its effectiveness in carrying out its prerogatives (legislation, government oversight, evaluation of public policies) and functions (parliamentary diplomacy, representativeness, participatory democracy), while ensuring the responsible, inclusive, and transparent use of AI. However, the absence of a structured framework to accompany this transformation raises the challenge of ensuring ethical, inclusive, and democratic governance– aligned use of AI.

What does this commitment consist of?

✓ This commitment is part of the national policy aimed at positioning Morocco as an emerging force in digitalization and innovation. The National Digital Strategy 2030 provides the overarching framework for a national digital transformation.
✓ Within this framework, the House of Representatives is implementing a comprehensive digital transformation strategy. This serves as the foundation and an essential step toward safe, optimal, vigilant, rational, productive, and ethical use of AI.
