Parliament's decision to refer the draft law establishing a Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Technology for further review is an opportunity that should not be wasted. If Lebanon wants to engage with AI, it must do so through accountable governance, not by concentrating broad powers in a single ministry. Without strong data protection laws, reliable digital infrastructure, and meaningful public participation, institutional expansion risks deepening existing governance challenges instead of solving them. Our latest analysis examines the draft law's key shortcomings and outlines what a more transparent, participatory approach to AI governance should look like. Read more: buff.ly/w9ZwXg6
أطلقت وزارة الإعلام السورية مشاورات لإعداد مسودة قانون إعلام جديد، لكن العملية أثارت تساؤلات بشأن شمولية المشاركة، إلى جانب مخاوف من أن تُفرز هذه المشاورات عن قانون يحدّ من حرية الإعلام. في هذا "الكاروسيل" نستعرض أبرز التحديات التي تُواجه هذا المسار.
“الاتصالات والخدمات الرقمية تُعد حقاً أساسياً من حقوق الإنسان، ولا ينبغي التعامل معها كضريبة غير مباشرة” - عبد قطايا، مدير برنامج الإعلام في "سمكس". “مبادرات الذكاء الاصطناعي في لبنان، شريطة البدء بتطوير البنية التحتية كخطوة أولى تفتح المجال أمام خطوات أخرى”. إقرأوا المزيد عن لقاء "سمكس" مع مفوّض الأمم المتحدة السامي لحقوق الإنسان فولكر تورك من خلال الرابط: buff.ly/MQz3pbR
"Technology has never been valuable simply because it was new." - Mohamad Najem, SMEX's Executive Director. Throughout history, societies embraced new technologies because they solved real problems, improved people's lives, expanded opportunities, and strengthened public institutions. Today, however, AI is increasingly being adopted because it is seen as innovative or inevitable, not always because it serves the public interest. Governments and companies are deploying AI systems at scale, often without sufficient transparency or oversight. Technology was meant to serve people. Has AI changed that principle? Read Najem's full argument in the link below: smex.org/ai-was-meant-t…
"سمكس" مشاركة في اجتماع "اللجنة الوزارية لترشيد استخدام الأطفال للإنترنت" شاركت منظمة "سمكس" بصفتخا عضواً باللجنة الوزارية المشتركة المُكلفة إعداد الخطة الوطنية الشاملة لترشيد استخدام الأطفال للإنترنت وتطبيقاته، في الاجتماع الأوّل للجنة. وتناول الاجتماع عرض أهداف اللجنة وآلية عملها، والإطار العام لإعداد الخطة الوطنية، بدعوة من وزارة الإعلام اللبنانية. وأشار المتحدّث في الاجتماع، عبد قطايا من "سمكس" إلى أنه "يجب تعزيز إجراءات حماية سلامة الأطفال على الإنترنت دون وضع حظر شامل، وذلك بسبب المخاوف التي تتعلق بانتهاك الخصوصية، تقييد الحقوق الأساسية، وصعوبة التنفيذ العملي". وأكّد إلى أن "الحل الأمثل يكمن في التمكين الرقمي بدلاً من معاقبة المستخدمين وعزلهم". وكانت نقاشات الحاضرين والحاضرات مثمرة وغنيّة بالأفكار والمقترحات، حتّى أنّ بعض المؤسسات بدأت بالفعل بمثل هذه المجهودات، مما يتطلّب التنسيق بين مختلف أصحاب المصلحة المتعدّدين. وفي السياق، تؤكد "سمكس" أنّها تواصل جهودها في العمل على سياسات رقمية تضع حقوق الإنسان أوّلا، كذلك السعي لحماية الاطفال عبر الانترنت من دون المساس بحقوقهم الرقمية، بما يضمن حقّهم بالخصوصية والوصول إلى المعلومات والمشاركة الآمنة عبر الإنترنت.
في ظل التحولات الجذرية التي يفرضها الذكاء الاصطناعي على مختلف القطاعات الحيوية، لم يعد الخيار أمام منطقتنا العربية مجرد مراقبة هذا التطور، بل بات واجباً علينا التحول إلى شركاء في صناعته والتأثير في مساره. يناقش المدير التنفيذي لمنظمة "سمكس"، محمد نجم، في هذه المقالة ضرورة إرساء إطار أخلاقي لتقنيات الذكاء الاصطناعي يضمن استثمار هذه التقنيات في تطوير التعليم، وتعزيز الرعاية الصحية، والحد من البيروقراطية، وغيرها من الأمور الحياتية، مما يجعل التكنولوجيا وسيلة لخدمة الإنسان والمجتمع. للاطلاع على المقال كاملاً، زوروا الرابط: smex.org/ar/%d8%a7%d9%8…

قصة مايا تذكرنا بأن كشف المعلومات الشخصية، والمضايقات والإساءة الرقمية قد تستهدف أي شخص. ولا يقتصر أثرها على حدود الشاشة، إنما قد يمتد ليمس بسلامة الناس، وراحتهم النفسية، وشعورهم بالأمان في الفضاء الرقمي. من خلال جهودها المستمرة ومبادراتها، تساهم ملكة جمال لبنان لعام 2026، بيرلا حرب، بالتعاون مع منظمة "سمكس" في نشر الوعي حول خطورة العنف الرقمي وأهمية تقديم الدعم للمُستهدفين وترسيخ السلامة الرقمية. من حق الجميع أن يشعروا بالأمان وهم يتواجدون ويشاركون في المساحات الرقمية. Behind every screen is a real person, and online harm has real-life consequences. Maya's story is a reminder that doxing, harassment, and digital abuse can affect anyone. The impact extends far beyond the screen, affecting people's safety, well-being, and sense of belonging online. Through her advocacy and ongoing projects, Miss Lebanon 2026, Perla Harb, in collaboration with SMEX, is helping raise awareness about online violence and the importance of support, empathy, and digital safety. Everyone deserves to feel safe participating in digital spaces. Watch this video and share it with someone who needs it!
في زمن تتسابق فيه الدول لوضع استراتيجيات للذكاء الاصطناعي، لا تكفي الطموحات التقنية وحدها. فنجاح أي استراتيجية يعتمد على مدى شموليتها وشفافيتها ومشاركة أصحاب المصلحة في صياغتها. تسلّط هذه المقالة الضوء على استراتيجية ليبيا للذكاء الاصطناعي، وتطرح تساؤلات حول آليات إعدادها، ومدى إشراك المجتمع المدني والخبراء والجهات المعنية في رسم المستقبل الرقمي للبلاد. التحوّل الرقمي الحقيقي يُبنى من خلال حوكمة تشاركية تضمن أن تكون التكنولوجيا في خدمة المجتمع والمصلحة العامة. اقرأوا المقال كاملاً من خلال الرابط: smex.org/ar/%d8%a7%d8%b…
Women, migrants, and others most at risk from online abuse and exploitation are not the people Oman's new Cybercrime Law protects. Instead, the law imposes some of its harshest penalties on online speech while offering limited protections against many forms of technology-facilitated violence. It also expands the scope of "cybercrime" far beyond traditional digital offenses, with significant implications for how people communicate and express themselves online. Read our analysis to learn why Oman's new law has little to do with cybercrime: buff.ly/bRi8nz4

سمكس" ترحب بإحالة مقترح إنشاء "وزارة الذكاء الاصطناعي" إلى اللجان المشتركة لمزيد من الدراسة قرر مجلس النواب اللبناني إحالة مقترح القانون الرامي إلى إنشاء "وزارة للذكاء الاصطناعي" إلى اللجان النيابية المشتركة لإعادة دراسته وتقييمه. وفي هذا السياق، تُرحب منظمة "سمكس" وتثني على هذه الخطوة، وتعتبرها التفاتة مسؤولة تؤكد على ضرورة منح مشروع القانون مساحة أوسع من البحث والدراسة المعمقة؛ نظراً للارتباط الوثيق لهذا الملف بالعديد من الركائز الأساسية، ومنها: صياغة السياسات العامة: رسم التوجهات الرقمية والاستراتيجية للدولة. أطر الحوكمة: ضمان إدارة قطاع التكنولوجيا الناشئة بمسؤولية وشفافية. حماية البيانات الشخصية: صون الخصوصية الرقمية للمواطنين كأولوية تشريعية قصوى. تؤكد "سمكس" تطلعها واستعدادها التام للتعاون مع السادة النواب والوزراء، والخبراء وأصحاب الاختصاص في المرحلة المقبلة، للمساهمة في تطوير مقترح القانون وتعديله بما يتواءم مع الواقع اللبناني ويلبي تطلعاته الرقمية.

What happens when surveillance continues despite legal consequences? This month, we uncovered a new NSO Group spyware campaign targeting WhatsApp users in Jordan and Lebanon, despite a US court order. We also covered the data breach exposing 600,000 Palestinian households, the impact of online harassment on public participation, AI privacy risks, and more.

قد تبدو أدوات الذكاء الاصطناعي مسلية وممتعة، لكنها في الحقيقة تحوّل التخلي عن بياناتنا الشخصية إلى عادة يومية نقوم بها دون تفكير. مع التطور المتسارع لهذه الأدوات، خصوصاً على وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي، لم تعد "الثقافة الرقمية" مجرد معرفة بكيفية استخدام التكنولوجيا، بل أصبحت تعني فهم المقايضات الكامنة وراء كل زر "تحميل" أو "مشاركة". في اليوم العالمي لوسائل التواصل الاجتماعي، ندعوكم جميعاً للتفكير النقدي: ما الذي نقدمه فعلياً لهذه المنصات مقابل دقائق من الترفيه؟ When was the last time you uploaded an image of yourself, your children, or family members on an AI chatbot? AI chatbots are Large Language Models (LLMs), which means that they are trained using the information you give them. A picture of your face may carry much more information than you expect because your features are analyzed, studied, and can be used to train the chatbot. Social media trends using AI can be creative and entertaining, but they also normalize giving away personal data, including our visual features, without a second thought. As these tools become more powerful, digital literacy means understanding the trade-offs behind every upload. On #SocialMediaDay, we're encouraging everyone to think critically about what we share with AI platforms. Read more: smex.org/should-you-upl…
One woman journalist had to rely on personal contacts inside Meta just to get abusive content reviewed. That shouldn't be how online safety works. In just the first half of 2026, SMEX's Digital Safety Helpdesk handled 106 cases targeting women. In its first-ever decision on disabled accounts, the Oversight Board upheld Meta's enforcement action, but delivered a much bigger message: platforms need greater transparency, stronger due process, and fairer appeals when restricting accounts. The decision echoes the recommendations SMEX has long advocated for in multiple submissions to the OSB. We argue that this decision is more than a ruling on one account, it's a roadmap for how Meta and other platforms can better protect users while respecting human rights.
