The Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Mr. Kamel Baddari, chaired the proceedings of the sixth (6th) multi-sectoral meeting this morning, Tuesday, 3 November 2026, dedicated to monitoring progress in the implementation of the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy.
The meeting focused on presenting and assessing the progress made by the thematic committees established around the strategy’s main priorities, with particular emphasis on the following areas:
1. Data and Infrastructure:
The implementation plan for the data component and the acquisition of the necessary infrastructure was presented. It provides a detailed outline of the planned operations, their implementation deadlines, as well as monitoring and performance indicators. Implementation is scheduled to begin on 11 November 2026.
2. Large Language Models:
Progress in developing a language model specialised in Algerian tax legislation was presented. To date, 98% of the relevant legal and regulatory documents have been collected, marking an important step towards developing a language model tailored to the specific characteristics of the national legislative framework.
3. Doctoral Studies in Artificial Intelligence:
An initial assessment of proposals submitted by 46 higher education institutions willing to participate in the Artificial Intelligence Doctoral School project was presented. The project also includes the establishment of thematic doctoral schools in priority fields, with the aim of developing specialised expertise and addressing the needs and challenges facing various sectors.
In this regard, the draft ministerial order authorising the doctoral programme is expected to be finalised within 15 days, while the timetable for organising the admission competition for these programmes is expected to be announced.
