Title: “Paving the way towards Moroccan Frugal Sovereign Social AI model for Cognitive Smart Cities”

Abstract: This talk presents a new concept termed Frugal Social Sovereign Artificial Intelligence (FSSAI) seeking to place social and engineering innovation in the service of human development, economic development and social wellbeing. It places the human intelligence, at the center of the collective intelligence development process. It creates Augmented Intelligence able to tackle humanity’s real challenges, including climate change, education, health, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and beyond. FSSAI prioritizes efficiency, energy optimization, ethics, inclusiveness and local relevance and ownership.
