Libya’s National Artificial Intelligence Strategy (2025–2030) aims to "enhance the use of artificial intelligence as a driver of comprehensive development, improve services, strengthen security, and foster innovation, with a focus on human‑centred and ethical principles.”

The strategy is structured around six main pillars: governance and leadership; legislation and ethics; digital infrastructure and data; human capacities and education; innovation and priority sectors; and monitoring, evaluation, and participation. These pillars reflect the strategy’s key priorities, including the establishment of a national AI governance structure, the development of a legal and ethical framework to ensure safe and responsible use of AI, the strengthening of digital infrastructure and data management, and the building of national capacities through education, training, and research. The strategy explicitly seeks to address weaknesses such as the absence of a unified national AI body, legislative fragmentation, limited availability of high‑quality data, and shortages in specialised skills. 

It identifies priority sectors where AI applications are expected to have an immediate and direct impact on citizens’ quality of life. These sectors are health, financial services, education, and public services, with pilot projects proposed in these areas before expansion to other sectors such as national security and energy. It builds on existing national assets, including telecommunications infrastructure and institutional willingness to adopt digital solutions, while promoting innovation, entrepreneurship, and the creation of a supportive ecosystem for startups. Stakeholders involved include government institutions, regulatory bodies, academic institutions, the private sector, and civil society.
