The Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA) has contributed to building and enhancing the regulatory environment for data and artificial intelligence through governance frameworks that protect individual privacy, safeguard national data sovereignty, and promote the responsible use of AI tools and applications in line with international best practices, reflecting the Kingdom’s commitment to global leadership in data and AI governance.
As part of the Kingdom’s efforts to strengthen the regulatory environment for data and AI, SDAIA has developed a range of regulatory tools that serve as a national reference. These include the Personal Data Protection Law and its executive regulations, national data governance policies, data management and protection standards, and the National Data Index (NDI), which assesses data management maturity among government entities.
In the field of AI governance, SDAIA has launched 10 regulatory documents covering the ethical and responsible use of AI, including AI ethics principles and generative AI principles for government entities.
