Morocco: Law Regulating the Use of Artificial Intelligence (No. 396) including cybersecurity regulation was introduced in Parliament

On 31 December 2024, the Law Regulating the Use of Artificial Intelligence (No. 396) was introduced in the House of Representatives, emphasising cybersecurity protocols. The Law would establish basic definitions for artificial intelligence and automated system, and create a four-tier classificatory system covering low-risk, limited risk, high-risk, and unacceptable risk systems. The Law would further determine developer and implementer responsibilities and general ethical principles. The law would mandate the implementation of advanced security protocols in AI systems, with regular security updates. It would further require anonymisation of datasets, the use of advanced encryption techniques, and data-breach proof design of machine learning algorithms.
