Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionising healthcare as profoundly as the discovery of antibiotics or the invention of the stethoscope. From analysing X-rays in seconds to predicting disease outbreaks and tailoring treatment plans to individual patients, AI has opened new possibilities for precision medicine and increased efficiency.

Morocco is going digital — in a big way!

The government just unveiled Digital X.0, a game-changing law that will shape how AI, data, and digital services are used nationwide.

Led by Minister Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni, this move anchors Morocco’s Maroc Digital 2030 vision — where tech drives inclusion, growth, and innovation.

Do you think this could make Morocco Africa’s next tech hub?

AI poisoning could rewrite the future of machine intelligence — literally.

A new study by the UK AI Security Institute, Alan Turing Institute, and Anthropic reveals that just 250 malicious files can secretly corrupt an entire large language model.

As AI becomes the backbone of global systems, this raises one question: how do we secure what’s meant to secure us?

Growing together: How solid interoperability and trusted digital identity frameworks boost trade and mobility within and across borders

This session explores how regional and cross-regional cooperation in digital public infrastructure (DPI)—through shared frameworks for digital identity, digital wallets, and interoperability—can boost economic growth, trade, and mobility. Building on the EU’s experience in developing interoperable systems and trusted digital identity, the discussion showcases practical examples of domestic and cross-border digital services both within the EU as well as between the EU and other countries and regions.
The session also examines the process of mutual recognition between the EU and partner countries, bringing together ministries and agencies that have recently advanced this work on digital identity and interoperability to share insights and lessons learned.

From Policy to Practice: Advancing the G20 Vision for Inclusive, Interoperable and Value-Driven Digital Public Infrastructure
The G20 Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) agenda has emerged as a cornerstone of inclusive and sustainable digital transformation, providing the foundational systems that allow governments, citizens, and businesses to interact more efficiently and transparently. Initiated under India’s Presidency, advanced under Brazil’s leadership, and consolidated under South Africa’s 2025 Presidency, the DPI agenda reflects a shared commitment to building interoperable, equitable, and trusted digital ecosystems across regions.

From secure digital identities and payment systems to interoperable data platforms, DPI enables governments to operate as integrated ecosystems and deliver services that are more responsive, equitable, and trusted.

Sovereign and Connected: The Future of Digital Public Infrastructure
Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) is no longer just about efficiency in service delivery — it’s about resilience, and trust. As governments have the ambition to become more digital especially in their service delivery towards their citizens, the big questions are increasingly political: Who controls the data? How do we prevent dependency on a handful of global vendors? And can nations stay sovereign while still being connected to global systems?
