SDAIA: Saudi Data and AI Authority

SDAIA, the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority, is the national institution responsible for Saudi Arabia’s AI strategy, data governance, and personal-data protection framework. Established by Royal Order in 2019, SDAIA carries a dual mandate covering both the regulation of data practices across the Kingdom and the promotion of AI adoption as a driver of economic growth, government efficiency, and national competitiveness.

SDAIA’s institutional significance within the Vision 2030 ecosystem reflects the Saudi leadership’s conviction that data and AI are not merely technology trends but foundational capabilities that will determine the competitive position of nations in the coming decades. The authority’s mandate to develop a national AI strategy, establish data governance frameworks, and oversee the Personal Data Protection Law positions it as the institutional architect of the Kingdom’s data-driven future.
