Morocco and the United States have jointly unveiled the inaugural UN resolution on artificial intelligence (AI), set for adoption by the UN General Assembly on March 21, 2024. This historic resolution signifies a watershed moment in global cooperation aimed at leveraging AI's potential for sustainable development. Both the Moroccan and US Permanent Representatives to the UN, Ambassadors Omar Hilal and Linda Thomas-Greenfield, weighed in on the importance of this resolution.

The decision to appoint Morocco as the primary co-sponsor of this landmark UN resolution underscores the depth and strength of the strategic partnership between Rabat and Washington. Beyond its symbolic significance, this partnership reflects a shared commitment to navigating the complexities of AI governance and harnessing its benefits for all nations, irrespective of their developmental status.
At its essence, the resolution advocates for a nuanced approach to AI governance, emphasizing the need for frameworks grounded in international law and adaptable to diverse national contexts. It underscores the imperative of promoting safe, secure, and trustworthy AI systems capable of addressing a spectrum of global challenges, from poverty alleviation to climate action.

By prioritizing principles of inclusivity, sustainability, and human rights, the resolution charts a course towards a more equitable and prosperous future driven by AI innovation.
