Egypt: National Council for Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, and Emerging Technologies released national guidelines for trustworthy and responsible AI

On 14 March 2026, the National Council for Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, and Emerging Technologies (NCAI) released the National Guidelines for Trustworthy and Responsible AI. Prepared by the Egyptian Center for Responsible Artificial Intelligence (ECRAI), the Guidelines provide a national reference for the development, deployment, and oversight of AI systems across the public and private sectors, in line with Egypt’s Vision 2030 and the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy (2025–2030). The Guidelines form part of the National AI Governance Framework and serve as an operational document for implementing AI practices. They apply to all AI actors in Egypt, including government entities, private-sector developers, and individuals, across the full AI lifecycle from design and data preparation to deployment, monitoring, and retirement. They are structured around four pillars: institutional governance, AI lifecycle governance, stakeholder engagement, and society and sustainability.
