Artificial intelligence & big data

Background

Given that frontier technologies are borderless and part of daily life, Arab countries should develop national strategies on harnessing the benefits of big data and artificial intelligence, while mitigating associated threats.

ESCWA prepared guides to assist member States in developing national strategies, in line with local constraints and specificities. The guide on artificial intelligence was applied with the Governments of Jordan and Lebanon, and the guide on big data national readiness assessment was applied with the Government of the State of Palestine.
