Topic: 2025 – Artificial Intelligence and Resource Consumption
Country: Egypt
Delegate Name: Lucia Ruiz
The development of Artificial Intelligence in recent years has brought up the topic of resource consumption regarding AI and how AI will change or improve our society. Egypt has created an updated AI policy that provides details on their strategy for the future of integrating AI into everyday life. Egypt acknowledges that more resources would be needed to meet the AI strategy goal, but also would like to emphasize that it is for the improvement of the country. By following through on the 2025-2030 national AI strategy Egypt will be placing themselves in a position to take steps towards being one of the most AI advanced countries in the middle east.
In the government’s efforts moving towards the future of AI plans have been made. Egypt has created the National AI Strategy 2025-2030. This document outlines the goals for now implementing AI including creating an ethical, responsible, and transparent approach. The idea is to integrate AI into healthcare, agriculture, and smart-city management to drive technological developments in these areas. By 2030 we are aiming to… 1. Cultivate 30,000 AI specialists through advanced education and training programs 2. Establish 250 AI-driven companies supported by R&D and venture-capital incentives 3. Expand AI research output to more than 6,000 academic publications 4. Increase AI integration into daily life for 36 % of the population.
Egypt understands that carrying out and controlling policy will require supervision because of this a National Council for Artificial Intelligence (NCAI) was created. They are supported by the Information Technology Industry Development Agency (ITIDA) and other organizations to create these new infrastructures, implement those infrastructures, create policy and ensure everything is being carried out to our ethical standard. Our policies, current and future, align with UNESCO’s Readiness Assessment Methodology (RAM). With all the effort being put into creating this new AI infrastructure we are striving for long term sustainability through periodic monitoring and action plans including future laws/legislative reforms.
We understand that our strategy requires talent which will involve AI training programs/courses to create the advanced technology skills needed to create an AI system. These AI systems also require large amounts of energy which has been a point of concern for Egypt. The Integrated Sustainable Energy Strategy (ISES) 2035, has set a goal to generate 42% of the country’s electricity from renewable sources by 2030. Egypt has already built energy interconnectors with neighboring countries and continues to do so to create renewable energy through these interconnectors, which has already decreased our CO2 emissions by 1.2 million tons annually. Part of our AI infrastructure strategy includes points to reduce energy losses and enhance consumer control over electricity usage as well.
Egypt is committed to creating a strong digital infrastructure and attaining our goals responsibly. We look forward to carrying out our National AI Strategy 2025-2030 and seeing progress on future developments. The delegation of Egypt is interested in discussing ways to create renewable energy and find sustainable solutions for future AI systems with fellow member states. We are hopeful for our strategy for the coming years to develop our technology to a new standard and work with fellow delegations to create a strong foundation for future policy.
