Hammamet: When Young People Reimagined the Role of Artificial Intelligence for the Common Good
Rassd Al-Maghreb, an independent Moroccan online news outlet covering social initiatives and youth-focused activities, published an article reporting on a training activity held in Hammamet, Tunisia, where young participants engaged in a collective reflection on the role of artificial intelligence in serving the common good.
The article describes how the training encouraged young people to rethink AI beyond purely technical perspectives, placing emphasis on its ethical, social and human dimensions. The coverage highlights a shift from abstract narratives around technology towards a more grounded discussion on how AI can be shaped by values, responsibility and social awareness.
According to the article, the experience allowed participants to “reimagine artificial intelligence not as a distant or neutral tool, but as a technology that can be guided by human choices and collective responsibility”. Particular attention is given to the role of youth in envisioning AI applications that promote inclusion, dialogue and positive social impact, especially in contexts affected by hate speech and polarisation.
By foregrounding youth voices and imagination, the piece frames the training as an example of how educational spaces can empower young people to engage critically with emerging technologies and their implications for society.
