Algeria’s Organic Law No. 23-14 on Information: Regulatory Challenges Posed by Artificial Intelligence in the Media
Abstract
Artificial intelligence is changing how media content is produced, distributed, and accessed. These changes raise questions about how media legislation can respond to evolving practices in the circulation of information while addressing concerns about its reliability. Against this backdrop, the article examines Algeria’s Organic Law No. 23-14 on Information in light of the regulatory challenges posed by artificial intelligence. It focuses on the relationship between technological change and the legal framework governing media activity, particularly as audiences obtain information through a growing range of public and private channels. The central research question is: To what extent does Organic Law No. 23-14 address the challenges that artificial intelligence poses for the media sector in Algeria?
Keywords — Algeria, Organic Law No. 23-14, media law, artificial intelligence, media regulation, information reliability.

Dr. Abdel Razzaq Al-Sanhuri defined public order as: “a set of rules aimed at achieving a public interest, political, economic, or social, related to the higher order of society, and which prevails over the interests of individuals. Everyone must therefore observe and achieve this interest, and they may not oppose it through agreements among themselves, even if these agreements achieve individual interests for them, for individual interests do not stand before the public interest.” Abdel Razzaq Ahmed Al-Sanhuri, Al-Wasit in the Explanation of Civil Law, Vol. 1, 3rd ed., Al-Halabi Legal Publications, Beirut, Lebanon, 2000.
After 1959, and since the decision issued on December 18, 1959 in the case of Lutetia and the French Film Production Company, the case law of the French Council of State has considered public morals and ethics as the moral aspect of public order, as an objective of administrative policing.
