Abstract

This study aims at examining the emerging ecosystem of Algerian AI-driven startups. This sector is rapidly innovating, yet it is exposed to sophisticated digital threats. However, its development often outpaces robust cybersecurity frameworks. This fosters a condition termed entrepreneurial cyber-fragility. The study adopts a quantitative survey-based approach administered to business incubators across Algeria including: startup founders, cybersecurity experts, and ecosystem stakeholders. It mainly assesses the overlapping dimensions of cyber-fragility in Algerian AI-driven startups to explore systemic factors contributing to this vulnerability. Findings illuminate critical areas of weakness and resilience and offer insights into the way(s) Algerian AI-driven startups navigate the complexities of entrepreneurial cyber-fragility.
