Opportunities and Challenges of Integrating Artificial Intelligence Technology into the National Strategies of Arab Countries (Egypt as a Model)

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the opportunities and challenges of integrating artificial intelligence technology into the national strategies of Arab countries, with Egypt as a model. The study relied on the descriptive analytical approach to analyze Egypt's efforts in employing artificial intelligence technology, and to explore the opportunities and challenges of integrating this technology into Egypt's national strategy. The study showed that Egypt is making great efforts in the artificial intelligence field, as it recently launched the second edition of Egypt's National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence 2025-2030. Also, the study showed many opportunities that enhance the use of artificial intelligence technology in Egypt, such as: enhancing Egypt's Vision 2030, enhancing digital transformation, and improving efficiency and productivity in various state sectors. However, the study revealed some challenges facing the employment of artificial intelligence and its integration into Egypt's national strategy, including the need to develop technological infrastructure, lack of specialized skills, global competition, and ethical challenges. To address and overcome these challenges, the study provided a proposed vision that included several main dimensions: enhancing awareness of the Community, infrastructure investment, encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship, training and developing human resources, and promoting research and development in the field of artificial intelligence.
