Egypt publishes national guidelines for trustworthy and responsible AI
Egypt has released new national guidelines outlining how artificial intelligence should be developed and used responsibly across sectors, with a focus on ethics, transparency and accountability.
Egypt published its National Guidelines for Trustworthy and Responsible AI on 14 March 2026, setting out a framework for how artificial intelligence should be developed, deployed and overseen across both public and private sectors.
The guidelines provide practical direction on implementing responsible AI, complementing the country’s broader AI governance framework. While the existing framework defines what should be regulated, the new document focuses on how to apply these rules in practice, including methodologies, metrics and compliance checklists.
Designed for practitioners such as developers, data scientists and compliance officers, the guidelines aim to ensure that AI systems are safe, transparent and aligned with ethical principles, while supporting innovation.
They also emphasise the protection of individual rights, accountability in AI systems and broader societal impacts, aligning national efforts with international standards and Egypt’s Vision 2030 and National AI Strategy.
