The article from ALFA International discusses the legal and societal challenges posed by artificial intelligence in Morocco and Europe. It highlights the contrasting approaches to AI regulation, with the European Union advancing a comprehensive AI Act to address issues like transparency, accountability, and data protection. In contrast, Morocco is still in the early stages of formulating its AI regulatory framework but shows a growing interest in adopting guidelines that align with European standards.

The discussion reflects a broader need for international cooperation in developing AI regulations that balance innovation with ethical considerations.
