Egypt National Guidelines for Trustworthy and Responsible AI (Edition 2.0, March 2026) 4: Engage stakeholders: identify and engage them, collaborate, keep two-way communication with communities, communicate transparently and support responsible disclosure

What does 4 require?

The organisation maps every relevant stakeholder group and communicates with it, using AI-assisted consultation tools so participation is inclusive, and empowers citizens to complain and appeal and to report bias or discrimination to oversight bodies; fosters coordinated engagement between the government, the private sector, academia and civil society, with stakeholders able to ask for an explanation of, or the trail behind, a decision driven by AI and to set an audit in motion through complaints, consultation or collective feedback; provides education and awareness while gathering community needs and feedback before and after deployment, engaging diverse groups to surface concerns and feeding input into risk management, with clear complaint, appeal, consultation and redress channels; reports clearly on capabilities, limitations, performance metrics, safety considerations, societal risk assessments and acceptable and prohibited uses; and encourages issue-reporting channels, bug bounties, contests or incentive programmes for responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities and unintended behaviour.
