The massive integration of artificial intelligence generates unprecedented vulnerabilities, while offering the capacity to identify malware undetectable by conventional firewalls. Karim Amor, president of the 13th region of Morocco’s General Confederation of Enterprises (CGEM), warns about the scattered use of AI within companies. He demands a shared vision that centralizes information security and anticipates drastic changes in the labor market facing automation.

Beyond lines of code, this skills transfer directly impacts heavy industry and defense. For example, an engineer from multinational Airbus wishes to develop locally new-generation civil and military drones. The CGEM network, active in over 110 countries, aims to support these ambitious project leaders by instantly connecting them to industrial ecosystems and local small and medium-sized enterprises.
