Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani chaired the second meeting of Iraq's Higher Committee for Artificial Intelligence [Supreme Committee for Artificial Intelligence] on Sunday.
In contrast to the inaugural meeting of this committee in August, nearly all of the attendees were equipped with a computer.
According to a statement from the Prime Minister's Office:
"At the start of the meeting, the Prime Minister reviewed government plans aimed at enhancing AI capabilities among employees, the education sector, agriculture, and water resources, as well as the legislative policy for drafting a bill to regulate AI applications.
"The Prime Minister was briefed on proposals for integrating computer and AI subjects into the Ministry of Education's curriculum in the next academic year. He emphasized that every school should be equipped with a smart screen and internet connection to establish AI labs, aiming to position Iraq at the forefront of technological advancement in the region, leveraging its diverse capabilities.
"The Prime Minister approved an initiative targeting the attraction of skilled talents from abroad in both public and private sectors. This initiative will train 100 digital leaders in an initial phase, exposing them to the latest global practices under the guidance of international experts, with the goal of policy development and implementation to improve service quality for citizens."
