Abstract

Algeria has been paying increasing attention to the field of artificial intelligence by establishing the Higher School of Artificial Intelligence in 2021, and encouraging academic studies on the legal aspects of its uses. However, Algerian legislation faces fundamental challenges in keeping pace with the tremendous acceleration of artificial intelligence applications, most notably the absence of an integrated and specialized legal framework, the problem of applying the concept of legal personality to these systems, as well as the challenges of protecting personal data, intellectual property and security. The studies emphasize the urgent need to develop specialized legislation based on the principles of privacy, security and responsibility, responding to future challenges, and ensuring safe and responsible utilization of these technologies, as Algeria is still in the early stages of bridging the gap between rapid technological development and the current legal framework.
