Inclusive AI literacy for local governance
A concrete initiative that connects AI literacy, civic participation, safeguards, and regional cooperation.
AI literacy for inclusive local governance
Co-designed in Morocco with elected women and civil society
Ask AMSA in Arabic or Darija, prepare civic questions, understand local-governance procedures, and verify answers before acting.

Why AMSA is different
Locally grounded
Designed from real local governance needs in Morocco, with trusted legal sources and co-design with elected women and civil society.
Inclusive by design
Focused on elected women, CSOs, citizens, youth, persons with disabilities, rural communities, and low-literacy users.
Responsible by design
Uses safeguards, verification prompts, escalation rules, and source citations to keep AI use honest and safe.
AI transformation is not reaching local civic actors equally
Why this matters
AMSA-AI addresses practical gaps in literacy, participation, language inclusion, and trust before these gaps become deeper barriers to democratic life.
AI literacy gap
AI skills remain concentrated among technical groups, urban centers, or privileged communities.
Women’s participation gap
Electoral quotas (the reserved 'additional list' seats) lifted women to about 27% of Morocco’s communal council seats - yet elected women are rarely the primary audience for AI skilling programs.
Low-resource language gap
Arabic, Darija, and local civic language need careful adaptation rather than generic AI interfaces.
Trust and misinformation risks
Without safeguards, AI can reinforce misinformation, privacy risks, and unequal access to information.
