# MoroccanAI 🇲🇦

**AI for Morocco, by Morocco**  
*الذكاء الاصطناعي المغربي*

---

## Mission

MoroccanAI is a community-driven initiative dedicated to building AI models tailored and trained on Moroccan native datasets. We focus on developing language technologies and domain-specific models that reflect the linguistic, cultural, and contextual realities of Morocco.

Our mission is to empower the Moroccan ecosystem — from researchers to developers to students — with high-quality, open AI tools that serve Moroccan society in Arabic, French, and Darija.

---

## What We Do

- **Pretrain and fine-tune models** for Moroccan Arabic (Darija), Modern Standard Arabic, and French
- **Curate and open-source datasets** rooted in Moroccan culture, language, and needs
- **Build demos and Spaces** that showcase real-world Moroccan AI applications
- **Support research and education** by providing community-driven resources
