RIYADH: The Saudi Data and AI Authority showcased the Kingdom’s approach to building advanced artificial-intelligence systems at the UN General Assembly in New York this week.

Raied Al-Jadaany, assistant CEO for computer vision and audio technologies at the SDAIA, outlined the Kingdom’s approach to the technology, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

“Successfully addressing the fundamental challenges these technologies present is essential for unlocking AI’s transformative potential for global society,” Al-Jadaany said in a presentation.

Speaking during another session, Rehab bint Saad Al-Arfaj, the SDAIA’s director-general of strategic partnerships and indicators, demonstrated how theory has been transformed into concrete improvements in the lives of citizens and residents.

Al-Arfaj said Saudi Arabia’s National Data and AI Strategy recently earned first place in the Global AI Index’s government category.
