Algeria has launched a joint inter-ministerial roadmap to deploy artificial intelligence across public services and strengthen technological sovereignty.
Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Kamel Baddari announced the ambitious plan aimed at modernizing state administration.
The initiative prioritizes sovereign open-source AI models, high-performance computing centers, national data storage, and strict safeguards for public applications.
To fuel this digital transformation, the government is introducing intensive university training programs alongside a dedicated scientific research center.
A joint monitoring committee will strictly oversee implementation timelines as the country seeks to build an independent knowledge-based economy.
This strategy leverages a growing talent pipeline, following the recent graduation of Algeria’s first specialized artificial intelligence student cohort.
By connecting research institutions with emerging technology businesses, Algeria aims to train 30,000 AI engineers by the year 2030.
The new roadmap successfully shifts national strategy from basic policy formulation into execution, anchoring state services to sovereign local infrastructure.
