Organizational mechanisms of artificial intelligence governance: an exploratory documentary study of four Moroccan organizations[Mécanismes organisationnels de gouvernance de l'intelligence artificielle : une étude documentaire exploratoire de quatre organisations marocaines Organizational mechanisms of artificial intelligence governance: an exploratory documentary study of four Moroccan organizations]

This study presents a qualitative, exploratory, and comparative documentary analysis of four Moroccan organizations: CIH Bank, Attijariwafa bank, OCP Group, and ONCF. It examines organizational mechanisms for artificial ntelligence (AI) governance based on publicly available institutional documentation. The corpus comprises 40 institutional documents, including 26 priority documents, coded into 80 traceable units of evidence across eight governance dimensions. Documentary coverage (n/N) was assessed through four sensitivity diagnostics. The findings reveal robust convergence around risk management, control, and compliance, while human oversight and organizational acculturation remain weakly documented. The organizational configurations differ across cases: a specialized AI lifecycle at CIH Bank; a Data-Risk-Transformation architecture at Attijariwafa bank; an industrialdigital-risk articulation at OCP Group; and a combination of digital transformation, safety, and control mechanisms at ONCF. The study distinguishes three governance components-governance foundations, organizational integration, and AI specialization-linked through processes of extension, specialization, and recombination.
