Saudi Arabia launches national AI risk framework

The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) has launched a National AI Risk Management Framework, providing public and private entities with a unified methodology for identifying, assessing, treating, and monitoring AI risks. The framework consists of four interconnected phases: defining context and scope, identifying and assessing risks, treating risks, and continuous monitoring. It categorizes risks into seven main types and is built around principles such as transparency, accountability, and privacy.
