Sustainable AI in Morocco: A Systematic Review of Opportunities, Challenges, and Policy Directions

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) on a global scale has brought to the forefront concerns regarding its environmental, social, and ethical implications. In Morocco, where economic modernization and environmental sustainability are pivotal national objectives, the development of AI presents substantial opportunities alongside significant challenges. This systematic review consolidates existing literature on sustainable AI practices in Morocco, focusing on sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, and finance. By analyzing studies that explore AI's potential to enhance productivity while adhering to Morocco's renewable energy and ethical standards, this paper identifies critical challenges, including inadequate infrastructure and a lack of expertise, and proposes recommendations for establishing a robust policy framework. The review aims to offer a comprehensive roadmap for the integration of AI that fosters sustainable development while addressing environmental and societal risks.
