Abstract

This article explores the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in reshaping Algeria’s industrial landscape within the broader framework of digital transition. Focusing on key sectors such as energy, agriculture, and manufacturing, the study examines how AI technologies ranging from machine learning and computer vision to natural language processing are being leveraged to enhance efficiency, safety, and decision-making across industrial operations. Through a detailed case study of the national energy leader, Sonatrach, the research highlights measurable improvements including reduced equipment downtime, more accurate resource forecasting, and accelerated data analysis. The article also discusses the alignment of these technological advancements with Algeria’s national digital strategy, while critically addressing persistent challenges such as data infrastructure, workforce readiness, and sectoral scalability. Ultimately, this study offers academic and policy-driven insights into how AI can serve as a catalyst for sustainable industrial modernization in Algeria
