The Digital Morocco 2030 strategy aims to accelerate digital transformation, strengthen economic competitiveness and promote sustainable social inclusion. However, to maximize its impact, it is essential to intelligently integrate artificial intelligence (AI) agents at two levels: macro (national and sectoral) and micro (local and organizational). In addition, a robust regulatory framework and clearly defined digital sovereignty must guarantee responsible, ethical and transparent use of AI agents, with a concrete and operational implementation at all levels of endogenous and exogenous interactions.
1. At the Macro Level: Public Policies, Legislative Framework and Digital Sovereignty
Smart strategic planning
• AI agents enable predictive analysis of economic, demographic and social trends for optimized strategic planning.
• Intelligent distribution of resources in key sectors (education, health, agriculture, energy).
• Strengthened cybersecurity thanks to AI agents capable of preventing and neutralizing digital threats.
Digital inclusion and reduction of the digital divide
• AI platforms ensure better digital inclusion, even in remote areas.
• Development of accessible tools based on natural language to facilitate their adoption by populations with low literacy skills.
Innovation and smart infrastructure
• Deployment of AI solutions for smart cities (traffic management, energy resources, waste optimization).
• Creation of technological hubs specialized in AI to stimulate research and innovation.
Digital Sovereignty at the Macro Level
• Definition of digital sovereignty: Morocco must ensure that AI technologies used on the territory are developed, controlled and hosted on national infrastructures.
• Data control: All data generated and processed by AI agents must be stored locally and protected by national standards.
• Controlled strategic partnerships: Partnerships with foreign actors must respect digital sovereignty standards defined by parliament.
Need for a Specific Bill on AI and Digital Sovereignty
• Technologies concerned: The bill must clearly define material (robots, sensors), intangible (algorithms, software) and conceptual (machine learning) technologies.
• Legal framework: Define strict rules for the design, deployment and use of AI systems, taking into account national sovereignty.
• Certification of AI solutions: Any AI technology used in Morocco must be validated by a competent national authority and certified as compliant with digital sovereignty requirements.
• Parliamentary governance: Guidelines for AI agents must be approved by Parliament, with annual monitoring.
Application example:
Data collected by AI-based agricultural platforms must be stored in Morocco, with continuous supervision by a dedicated national agency.
Recommendations:
• Develop a national bill specific to AI and digital sovereignty.
• Establish a National Agency for Regulation and Digital Sovereignty.
2. At the Micro Level: Empowerment of SMEs, Artisans and Startups with Adapted Regulation and Digital Sovereignty
Digital transformation of SMEs and artisans
• Automation of internal processes to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
• Digitization of traditional artisanal models to facilitate export and expand markets.
Development of collaborative ecosystems
• Creation of platforms based on AI constellations to facilitate interactions between artisans, customers and suppliers.
• Encouragement of collaborations between local SMEs and international digital platforms.
Training and skills development
• Integration of AI skills into school and university curricula.
• Creation of training tailored to the needs of small businesses and artisans to facilitate the adoption of AI technologies.
Personalization of customer services
• Use of chatbots for more fluid and responsive customer service.
• Analysis of customer preferences to adapt offers in real time.
Digital Sovereignty at the Micro Level
• Local data protection: Local AI platforms must ensure that customer data remains stored and secure in Morocco.
• Technological independence: Encourage the development of domestic AI solutions to reduce dependence on foreign technologies.
• Local certification of AI tools: SMEs must only adopt tools certified by the National Agency for Regulation and Digital Sovereignty.
Application example:
An AI platform for Moroccan crafts must ensure that all data from artisans and customers is hosted on certified national servers.
Recommendations:
• Implement local digital sovereignty standards adapted to small structures.
• Establish a certification system for local AI solutions.
3. Complementarity between the Macro and Micro Level with Operationally Declined Digital Sovereignty
Endogenous and Exogenous Interactions
• Endogenous: Internal interactions between AI agents, public systems and local actors must respect national digital sovereignty standards.
• Exogenous: Any collaboration with foreign partners must guarantee strict protection of national data and compliance with Moroccan legislation.
Harmonized Governance and Regulation
• Creation of a National Regulatory and Digital Sovereignty Agency to ensure compliance with defined standards.
• Defining a clear legal framework to monitor AI agent interactions at all levels.
Concrete example:
A national AI platform connecting artisans, SMEs and public institutions must apply a clear operational strategy for each interaction, guaranteeing total digital sovereignty.
4. Towards a Hybrid Model for Digital Morocco 2030
Challenges for a successful adoption:
• Universal accessibility to digital infrastructures.
• Technical skills adapted to local realities.
• Ethical and sovereign regulation to avoid abuse.
• Continuous innovation through balanced partnerships.
Final recommendations:
• Develop a national framework law on AI and digital sovereignty.
• Create annual parliamentary oversight to assess progress and necessary adjustments.
5. Conclusion: An Integrated, Regulated and Sovereign Vision
• At the macro level: AI structures public policies with guaranteed digital sovereignty.
• At the micro level: SMEs and artisans adopt certified AI tools, with locally secured data.
• Robust legislative framework: Clear regulations and rigorous governance guarantee full digital sovereignty.
By integrating a hybrid, regulated and sovereign approach, Digital Morocco 2030 can become a regional model of responsible digital transformation, guaranteeing inclusive, secure and sustainable growth.
