Abstract

This study aimed to reveal the perceptions of teachers towards the uses of artificial intelligence applications in Algerian universities, based on the ongoing controversy over the integration of these applications into university education. In contrast to the gains achieved in raising the level of higher education, there are many challenges and material, technical, financial and human requirements that may not be available at the level of infrastructure in Algerian universities, which created an incentive to identify different solutions and proposals for the optimal exploitation of this field in university education as it is the latest result of digital development in various fields. The study used the descriptive survey method for a sample of teachers in Algerian universities, through an electronic questionnaire. The study reached a set of results, the most important of which is the emphasis on the necessity of using artificial intelligence applications in the educational process by university teachers, and in return providing the necessary capabilities to activate their use by opening formative training courses, including academic courses in this field, and following a governmental approach that includes supporting artificial intelligence policies across Algerian university institutions.

Keywords: Algerian higher education, Applications of artificial intelligence, educational process, perceptions, university teachers
