How the laws define this

Both cited sources agree that INSAIN represents the primary national policy framework and strategy for guiding artificial intelligence development in Iraq. However, the instruments diverge on its specific scope, operational status, and timeline. Under the Iraqi National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence (INSAIN), the term describes an ongoing initiative being developed by the Prime Minister's Office to guide AI adoption and institutional arrangements across government and economic sectors, detailing specific priorities for education, smart government applications, ethics, and international cooperation. Conversely, الاستراتيجية الوطنية للذكاء الاصطناعي وتكامل البيانات الضخمة 2024–2030 defines the strategy as a fixed roadmap for the 2024–2030 timeframe, omitting references to the Prime Minister's Office, adoption tracks, or specific thematic priority areas like ethics and education.
