The impact of artificial intelligence on the manufacturing exports in Morocco: A study based on the gravity model

Abstract

The present article investigates the impact of artificial intelligence on Moroccan’s manufacturing exports. For this purpose, artificial intelligence was materialized by neural machine translation. The methodological approach was based on the gravity model namely by adopting estimation of the Poisson Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood estimator on a panel data composed of 20 major trading partners of Morocco for the period between 2011and 2023. The results highlight that Moroccan manufacturing exports are positively and significantly affected by neural machine translation and GDP partners, however distance all other things being equal has negative impact on Moroccan manufacturing exports.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence, neural machine translation, Gravity model, manufacturing exports.
