Aith a remarkable academic career, marked by a doctorate from Pierre and Marie Curie University and an accreditation from Sorbonne Paris Nord University, the minister also held the position of executive president of the International Center for Artificial Intelligence of Morocco (AI Movement), affiliated with UM6P. With this experience, it seems to have all the assets to meet the expectations of a true digital transformation. The challenge now is to translate ambitions into tangible achievements.
The Ministry responsible for Digital Transition and Administration Reform plays a crucial role in a context where AI raises high expectations and questions. Morocco, in search of a successful digital transition, needs a coherent vision and a structured action plan to accelerate this dynamic.
The predecessor of the current manager, Ghita Mezzour, had set milestones with the vision “Digital Morocco 2030”. However, certain delays in its implementation have limited its impact. These challenges also represent an opportunity to reorient priorities, leveraging lessons from the past, to accelerate achievements and position Morocco as a key player in AI in Africa. It is an opportunity to demonstrate the country’s capacity to transform an ambition into concrete success.
As an expert, she has often highlighted the importance of ethical and accessible AI through her public interventions and scientific publications. The question remains how to make it a lever for the benefit of all: citizens, startups and public services.
-Gitex Africa 2025, organized by the Digital Development Agency (ADD), constitutes an ideal platform to realize this vision. With 45,000 visitors and 1,500 exhibitors expected in 2025, this event is a unique opportunity to present an ambitious AI strategy, based on measurable priorities and rigorous monitoring.
The minister appears to be in an ideal position to meet this challenge. But, as Mustapha Suleyman points out in his work The Coming Wave“AI is an earthquake. This is the greatest force amplifier in history.” This potential calls for action with determination to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
Rather than simply continuing the initiatives undertaken, this responsibility is part of a dynamic of transformation. Morocco has the necessary foundations, but to take a new step, it needs clarity and a pragmatic roadmap. The opportunity is there: it is now a matter of giving it substance and proving that this ambition can become a reality.
