Egypt’s NTI and State Lawsuits Authority sign a deal to train judicial officials on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and modern legal tech.
Egypt’s National Telecommunication Institute and the State Lawsuits Authority have officially signed a major cooperation agreement to upgrade the country’s legal system using artificial intelligence and modern computer security tools.
Under this national partnership, telecom experts will create specialized training programs to teach judges, government lawyers, and legal advisers how to use smart computer applications, secure online legal records, and tackle complex internet crimes.
The joint initiative also launches the second group of the AI Ambassadors Programme, which teaches legal officials how to safely analyze electronic evidence, speed up courtroom research, and handle modern technology cases without relying on slow paper files.
The official signing of the technology cooperation protocol took place in Cairo, Egypt, on Tuesday, September 1, 2026.
The high level ceremony was conducted in the presence of Egypt’s Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Raafat Hendy, alongside Counselor Abdel Nasser Abu El Azm Issa, President of the State Lawsuits Authority.
The agreement was formally signed by NTI Director Ahmed Khattab and Counselor Ahmed Saad Abdel Aty, Vice President of the State Lawsuits Authority and Head of its Judicial Studies, Training, and International Cooperation Centre.
The main reason Egypt is making this big push into digital legal training is that court cases are becoming increasingly technical as internet crimes, online fraud, and computer disputes grow nationwide.
In the past, traditional legal offices struggled to keep pace with fast-changing computer software, modern digital signatures, and artificial intelligence tools.
By providing continuous technical education and expert advice, the government ensures that court advisers understand both the power and limits of smart software.

This helps legal teams process government court cases much faster, protect public funds, and deliver fair digital justice for citizens across the nation.
Explaining how the agreement helps state institutions modernize their daily work to match global technology standards, Egyptian Minister of Communications and Information Technology Raafat Hendy stated that the agreement forms part of efforts to support government institutions in their digital transformation and digital capacity building programmes.
Raafat Hendy noted that the cooperation would help the State Lawsuits Authority “keep pace with rapid technological developments, particularly in AI, while improving institutional efficiency”.
Highlighting the commitment to build human skills and adapt to modern computer tools inside government legal offices, President of the State Lawsuits Authority Counselor Abdel Nasser Abu El Azm Issa stated that the protocol reflects “the commitment of both sides to investing in human capacity and adapting to developments in technology and AI”.
Detailing how the specialized training focuses on practical skills rather than just basic computer theory, NTI Director Ahmed Khattab said the institute would use its technical expertise to support advisers, adding that the AI Ambassadors Programme “goes beyond introducing participants to AI tools, instead focusing on developing a deeper understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the technology”.
Confirming that the joint partnership will expand with continuous learning courses for legal professionals, Vice President of the State Lawsuits Authority Counselor Ahmed Saad Abdel-Aty said the agreement would “strengthen the partnership between NTI and the State Lawsuits Authority and support efforts to develop the digital skills of judicial advisers”.
By uniting telecom experts and legal leaders, Egypt is taking strong steps to modernize its justice system. Teaching legal officials to understand artificial intelligence and cybersecurity ensures that court decisions stay accurate, public records remain safe, and government institutions run efficiently in the digital age.
