RIYADH: The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority has launched a national artificial intelligence risk management framework to guide government and private entities in the safe and responsible adoption of AI.
Aligned with Vision 2030, the framework will serve as a national reference, offering a unified methodology for identifying, assessing, treating and monitoring AI risks, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Tuesday.
The authority said AI systems posed risks that differed from those associated with traditional technology, with potential impacts on individuals, institutions and the national economy.
Unlike conventional software risks, those related to AI might emerge unexpectedly during operation, performance may change over time, and system behavior can be difficult to interpret or reproduce, the authority said.
The framework is built around an end-to-end risk management lifecycle with four stages: defining context and scope, identifying risks, assessing and treating risks, and continuous monitoring and review.
