During his opening speech, Prof. Bouhacein read the speech of the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, in which he congratulated the university community on the occasion of Knowledge Day, and mentioned the merits and sacrifices of Algerian scholars, in particular the scholar Abdelhamid Ibn Badis, the pioneer of the national reform movement, who contributed through the Association of Ulemas to preserving the identity of the nation, its heritage and its personal components and national. Besides, the Minister also urged, in his speech, the university community to engage in the knowledge economy based on the activation of renewed human intelligence instead of the waste of raw materials, to enable the national economy to produce information and software and to master technologies and their development.
For her part, Prof. Messaouda Amara presented a conference on intellectual property rights and artificial intelligence. The issue of the conference was centered on the impact of artificial intelligence on intellectual property rights, at a time when the contemporary world witnesses an increase in the development of creations and works of the mind, with the development of technology means.
The question of the protection of creations by intellectual property laws continued to raise more questions and legal paradoxes.
In the same context, Prof. Amara recalled the objectives of adopting the strategy of artificial intelligence in Algeria, based on the 2022-2030 strategy of the Ministry, which aims to strengthen Algerian capacities in the field of artificial intelligence in terms of education, training, research, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, capacity building as development tool to enable the various economic and social sectors to overcome the obstacles to digital transformation.
In addition, it is necessary, according to Prof. Amara, to benefit from immigrant elites in the field of artificial innovation and the knowledge economy, while building bridges for the exchange of scientific experiences with Algerian students.
The conference closed with the following recommendations:
– Introduce the role of artificial intelligence in all areas and at all levels and make it a priority in national and local policies.
– Support innovative startups for smart applications that contribute to economic development and introduce entrepreneurs to the importance, mechanisms and scope of the protection of intellectual property rights.
– Paving the way for students and researchers to find radical and smart solutions to intractable environmental problems such as desertification, drought and pollution, by adopting smart green models.
– Addressing the skills shortage that cripples national innovation systems in developing countries.
– Adopt policies and programs that promote basic research and establish and support a culture of innovation.
– Address the challenges of artificial intelligence by finding legal solutions to its challenges and including it in local state plans and policies.
