Experts: Artificial intelligence enhances youth employment in Morocco

Artificial intelligence is poised to boost, rather than diminish, youth employment in Morocco, according to experts who spoke at a recent forum. Officials, business leaders, and academics convened at Al Akhawayn University for the "AI Forum" and presented a hopeful diagnosis for the future of young job seekers in the age of AI.

Their findings suggest that AI has not yet negatively impacted youth employment in Morocco. Instead, it is actively reshaping the tasks associated with various roles, creating new opportunities and demands within the evolving job market. This indicates a transition phase where AI integration is leading to a restructuring of work rather than outright job displacement.

The discussions, which provided insights to Hespress, highlighted that AI's current influence is focused on redefining job functions. This perspective offers an optimistic view, countering fears of widespread unemployment due to technological advancements. The focus remains on adaptation and skill development to align with the new landscape shaped by artificial intelligence.
