Morocco is unrolling its AI strategy centered around the Jazari institutes across the country hoping AI will add 100 billion dirhams (over $10 bln) to its economy, Minister Delegate in charge of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni said. The AI development strategy would create 50,000 jobs and train 200,000 students, she said. Citing projections from UNCTAD’s 2025 Technology and Innovation Report, the Minister noted that the global AI market could reach $4.8 trillion by 2033. Early results are tangible: within one year, Morocco climbed 14 places in the 2025 Government AI Readiness Index, reflecting progress in public strategy, governance and institutional capacity building. Monday’s “AI Made in Morocco” event is therefore more than a technical showcase; it is a politically significant moment.
