Abstract
Over the past few years, artificial intelligence has been changing the way humans see the world. Every facet of our society is being impacted, from the widespread use of mobile devices to increasingly complicated work environments. Even if we might not notice it in action, it also enhances our general well-being. The goal of the Algerian AI task force is to develop an AI strategy for Algeria to foster an understanding of how new technologies can be used to enhance people’s quality of life. This will ensure that Algeria remains at the forefront of technological innovation. This paper seeks to explore to which extent Algerian universities and researchers deal with AI services and how they managed to invest in its benefits and avoid its drawbacks, so that, it would be possible to use AI wisely and responsibly in the future. To do so, qualitative research has been conducted with seven post-graduated researchers. The data were gathered through a semi-structured interview and the analysis revealed that Algerian universities are not really ready to adopt AI policies either because of the lack of material or curriculum updating and teachers ‘ training fortunately researchers tend to use AI in their research papers and struggle to avoid plagiarism.
