Adoption of artificial intelligence for green innovation and green entrepreneurship in Algeria: Evidence and insights from 2018–2024

This study aims to examine the role of artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in fostering green innovation and green entrepreneurship in Algeria during the period 2018–2024, within the broader framework of the country’s transition toward a sustainable green economy. The research follows an analytical statistical methodology, combining a theoretical review of the green economy and AI with an empirical analysis of Algerian environmental and economic indicators. The dataset includes greenhouse gas emissions, emissions intensity, renewable energy deployment (solar, wind, and off-grid systems), public spending on environmental protection, and green investment flows. These indicators were assessed in relation to the integration of AI technologies as enablers of innovation and entrepreneurship in Algeria’s green transition. The findings reveal that Algeria has made significant progress in renewable energy projects, particularly solar and wind power, while achieving a relative decline in emissions intensity and improvements in environmental performance. Moreover, the study highlights that the adoption of AI has contributed to enhanced resource management, accelerated innovation processes, and the promotion of green entrepreneurial models. This indicates that AI is becoming a key driver in Algeria’s shift toward a low-carbon economy and in strengthening the role of the private sector in sustainable development.
