RIYADH: The national One Million Saudis in AI Initiative has successfully exceeded its target of training over 1 million Saudi citizens in artificial intelligence skills.
Of these, 9 percent are working-age Saudis who have earned AI skills certificates.
SAMAI is described as one of the largest AI training initiatives globally, offering simplified Arabic-language content that outperforms many regional and international programs in accessibility and reach.
International comparisons of AI training initiatives highlight SAMAI’s distinctive strengths, including ease of access, comprehensive training, and a flexible national approach tailored to Saudi society’s needs while keeping pace with global trends.
Its free access and official certification from the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority also provides significant academic and market value, setting it apart from programs offering non-accredited content.
