The work of the sixth Conference of the Arab Parliament and the Speakers of Arab Parliaments and Councils kicked off on April 27 in Cairo, with the participation of Morocco.
The Kingdom is represented at this meeting by a delegation led by Mohamed El Bakkouri, the Secretary General of the National Rally of Independents (RNI) within the House of Councilors, member of the parliamentary section, and chairman of the economic and financial committee within the Arab Parliament.
In an inaugural speech, the Speaker of the Arab Parliament, Adel ben Abderrahman Al-Assoumi, stressed that this meeting is being held in a context marked by the difficult crisis that the Palestinian cause is going through, considering that this crisis reflects the fragility of the current international system, which requires a review and new rules of action per international law and universal humanitarian principles.
A statement from the Arab Parliament indicates that the document entitled “Parliamentary Vision for the Safe Use of Artificial Intelligence” which will be at the heart of discussions at this conference focuses on the opportunities and challenges related to the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Arab countries and the role that Arab parliamentarians can play in governing the use of AI.
The document deals with three main themes: the first revolves around the achievements and advantages of AI in the economy, development, politics, and the military in addition to the challenges and threats relating to this technology.
The second theme is dedicated to the efforts made by Arab countries to benefit from the benefits of AI while the third theme focuses on the unified Arab parliamentary vision to achieve secure use of this technology.
After its approval, the document will be submitted to the next Arab Summit scheduled to take place in Bahrain next month.
