The Euromed University of Fes Meetings conclude with a shared vision for thinking about the future of human civilization in the age of artificial intelligence

The Euromed University of Fes Meetings on the Alliance of Civilizations, organized under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, concluded after two days of debates dedicated to the future of human civilization in the face of artificial intelligence.

This edition, held under the theme “The future of human civilization tested by artificial intelligence”, brought together decision-makers, experts and participants around a consensus on the need to frame technological changes through an ethical, inclusive and human-centered approach.

Discussions highlighted the need to strengthen a concerted global governance of artificial intelligence, based on shared normative frameworks, as well as the importance of promoting transparency, accountability and certification mechanisms to build trust in these technologies.

Participants also emphasized the central role of intercultural and inter-civilizational dialogue in accompanying technological transformations, as well as the urgency of reducing digital divides, particularly in Africa, in order to ensure more equitable access to technologies.

The development of sovereign artificial intelligence, adapted to the needs of populations, was also discussed, as well as the need to integrate educational, cultural and social dimensions into public policies related to these technologies.

At the end of the proceedings, the Meetings underlined that the challenges of artificial intelligence go beyond the technological framework and require a reflection of civilizational scope.

The event also reaffirmed the role of Fès, the Euromed University of Fes, the Muslim World League and the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) as international spaces for dialogue and reflection.
