[Interview - Le360] Mostapha Bousmina, President of UEMF: How Morocco Is Becoming Africa's No. 1 AI Power

In an interview with the web media "Le360.ma", Prof. Mostapha Bousmina, President of the Euromed University of Fes (UEMF), described how Morocco is becoming the leading African power in artificial intelligence (AI) thanks to the School of Digital Engineering and Artificial Intelligence (EIDIA).

Opened in 2019, EIDIA currently trains 700 students and will award its first degrees in June 2024. It collaborates with various university components, integrating cutting-edge technologies for applications in health, agriculture, industry and security, with international partnerships and multilingual instruction.

The President said: "our vision was not to create an isolated AI school disconnected from other disciplines. On the contrary, our school was designed holistically by integrating it into a multifaceted environment combining education and research-innovation, and it relies on several other University structures."
