The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) is a government agency in Saudi Arabia that was established by a royal decree on 30 August 2019.[1] The authority has three other bodies linked to it. Two of which were also created by a royal decree on the same day.[2] These two bodies are a center called "The National Centre for Artificial Intelligence" and an office called "The National Data Management Office."[3][2] The third is the National Information Center, which is an existing entity.

Structure

The authority is directly linked to the Prime Minister and will be governed by a board of directors chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister.[2]
