The Saudi Authority for Data and Artificial Intelligence has become the world’s first institution to get the International Standards institution’s 42001:2023 accreditation for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
The ISO standard, released in December of last year, is the first of its type for AIMS. It offers advise on how to solve AI-related concerns such as ethical principles, transparency, and continual learning.
It also offers a systematic approach to risk and opportunity management, as well as striking a balance of innovation and governance in firms that use AI technology in their work.
Abdullah Al-Ghamdi, the president of SDAIA, said he was proud of the accreditation and that it represents recognition of the implementation by the authority of appropriate standards and practices related to management of AI, and reflects Saudi Arabia’s growing reputation for excellence in the field of data and AI.
He added that the authority’s progress and successes would not be possible without the continuing support of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is chairman of its board of directors.
This support enables the organization to serve as a national reference point for data and AI, he added, and to regulate, develop and manage the implementation of these technologies in ways that ensure they are properly governed and position Saudi Arabia as a leader in the field.
