Shaping Saudi Arabia’s Future Through AI and Big Data: Insights from Yaser Al-Onaizan CEO of the NCAI National Center for Artificial Intelligence As we advance Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, artificial intelligence (AI) and big data are becoming indispensable pillars of our nation’s digital transformation strategy. In my recent interview with Yaser Al-Onaizan, CEO of the National Center for AI, we discussed how these technologies are redefining sectors like health care, education, and commerce—all of which are core to the Kingdom’s strategic objectives. According to Al-Onaizan, AI’s power to enhance service delivery in health care and education is already proving invaluable. Early detection of diseases such as cancer and diabetes, supported by AI-driven diagnostics, is helping drive down costs while improving patient outcomes. In education, personalized learning programs are broadening access to digital resources, supporting Vision 2030’s commitment to elevating quality of life and public service delivery. The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA | سدايا led by President Dr. Abdullah bin Sharraf Al-Ghamdi, plays a crucial role in the Kingdom’s AI journey. Together with the National Center for AI, they are building a robust infrastructure that allows local businesses to tap into AI’s potential without prohibitive costs, focusing on innovation at the application level. Al-Onaizan likened this infrastructure to building highways: “There is no need for every company to build the road; instead, they should focus on using this infrastructure to drive their own growth.” Another focal point of our discussion was ethical AI. Al-Onaizan emphasized the importance of a balanced regulatory approach, highlighting the need for frameworks that ensure transparency, fairness, and accountability without stifling innovation. Saudi Arabia’s approach, as guided by SDAIA, is to create adaptive regulations that not only protect privacy but also foster trust in AI systems as they become a part of everyday life. Finally, developing local AI talent is essential to drive innovation and competitiveness. Al-Onaizan underscored the importance of integrating practical experiences into academic programs and fostering partnerships with global leaders to build a resilient, skilled workforce in AI. These insights, along with perspectives from other thought leaders, will be featured in our upcoming annual report, The Report: Saudi Arabia 2024. Stay tuned for the full interview and in-depth analysis of the Kingdom’s digital transformation journey. #Vision2030 #AI #BigData #DigitalTransformation #SaudiArabia #SDAIA #Innovation

One thing I learned at #CapacityMiddleEast in February is that decision-makers in the region, especially in KSA (the Gulf in general), have a remarkable ambition regarding the Telco industry. There are massive investments in acquisitions, new infrastructure, and revolutionary technology that reflect their visionary approach. This being said, there is no surprise when reading about Saudi Telecom creating a new $6 billion towers firm that could help it build on its plans for international expansion. #telecom #GulfRegion #Investments #Infrastructure https://lnkd.in/ditrb387

🚀 Why Digital Transformation Matters for Every Government Agency 🚀 Digital transformation is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. Citizens today expect fast, efficient, and personalized services, making digital transformation the foundation of modern governance. For governments, it’s not just about adopting technology; it’s about fundamentally rethinking processes, policies, and citizen interactions to create better outcomes. Here’s why it matters: 1. Enhanced Citizen Experiences Digital platforms empower citizens with tools that save time and reduce frustration, ensuring seamless access to essential services. 2. Data-Driven Decision Making Analytics and AI enable governments to move from reactive to proactive governance, optimizing resource allocation and crafting policies based on real-time insights. 3. Operational Efficiency Automation replaces manual, error-prone processes, allowing employees to focus on higher-value tasks and deliver faster services. 4. Building Trust and Transparency Real-time updates and dashboards enhance accountability, building trust between governments and citizens. 💡 Examples in Action 1️⃣ Riyadh Municipality: A Digital Services Hub reduced wait times, improved service accuracy, and elevated Saudi Arabia’s global e-government ranking. 2️⃣ Estonia’s e-Residency Program: Over 99% of public services are online, generating €50 million annually by enabling global entrepreneurs to establish businesses virtually. 3️⃣ Ministry of Health’s Seha App: Over 2 million virtual consultations during the pandemic showcased how technology can make healthcare accessible to all. Challenges on the Path Agencies face hurdles like legacy systems, resistance to change, and ensuring data privacy and security. Overcoming these requires leadership, collaboration, and a clear digital roadmap. This post is part of my series, "The Digital Transformation Journey in Saudi Arabia: A Roadmap for Success." If you missed the first post, check it out here: The Digital Transformation Journey in Saudi Arabia: "https://lnkd.in/dbsxF8Yw". 🔜 Next Post: The Key Ingredients for a Successful Digital Transformation Journey. 🌟 Why do you think digital transformation is critical for government agencies?
