Egypt has partnered with the French technology firm Thales to develop artificial intelligence applications in the region.

The collaboration with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology would assist in the development of local skills, technology, infrastructure, and governance structures, according to a joint statement issued by the ministry and Thales.

According to Dr. Amr Talaat, Egypt’s minister of communications and information technology, this agreement would boost Egypt’s efforts to develop a digital economy.

“Egypt is eager to embrace and improve new technologies…

The alliance also represents Egypt and France’s strategic partnership in AI, as this is the sixth consecutive MoU signed with our French partners in the last 18 months,” he added.

Thales and MCIT will also collaborate closely with local start-ups and host events to develop local talent.

They will look for potential projects in areas such as ground transportation, e-government, connectivity, and smart infrastructure to help Egypt cement its place as a regional leader and successful global player in artificial intelligence.

“The partnership places artificial intelligence applications at the forefront of our joint ventures, with the aim of providing smart and secure solutions and services for the smart cities of the future,” said Sherif Barakat, Thales’ CEO in Egypt.

Along with developing new technology, Thales and MCIT will investigate the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on governance, employment, education, and the digital divide.

They will also collaborate on AI ethics studies and organize programs to inform people about the benefits and threats posed by artificial intelligence, such as data privacy.
