Artificial Intelligence is transforming global economies, creating new opportunities for innovation, growth, and competitiveness. Lebanon now stands at a defining moment to harness this potential and position itself as a regional hub for AI talent.
The Perspective of Shaping Lebanon’s AI Talent Development, developed by ZAKA and Joseph S. Boutros, presents a clear national pathway to achieve this vision, one that could unlock nearly $1 billion in GDP contribution and generate 18,000 new jobs by 2030.
This perspective emphasizes the importance of aligning education, governance, infrastructure, and lifelong learning to build an ecosystem where AI innovation thrives. By bringing together the public sector, academia, and private industry, Lebanon can drive sustainable economic growth, attract global partnerships, and empower its next generation of digital leaders.
