It proposes three hub types, Private, Extended and Virtual, and the concept of 'data embassies': private data centers that host a foreign government's or entity's data under that country's laws rather than Saudi law. The Council of Ministers could terminate arrangements for national-security reasons, and the law would take effect 60 days after publication in the Official Gazette. The law remains in draft form.","ar":"فتحت هيئة الاتصالات والفضاء والتقنية في 14 أبريل 2025 باب استطلاع الرأي العام حتى 14 مايو 2025 على مسودة نظام مراكز الذكاء الاصطناعي العالمية. ويقترح النظام ثلاثة أنواع من المراكز هي: الخاص، والموسّع، والافتراضي، إضافة إلى مفهوم «سفارات البيانات»، أي مراكز بيانات خاصة تستضيف بيانات حكومة أجنبية أو جهة أجنبية وفق قوانين تلك الدولة لا النظام السعودي. ويجوز لمجلس الوزراء إنهاء الترتيبات لدواعي الأمن الوطني، ويبدأ سريان النظام بعد 60 يوماً من نشره في الجريدة الرسمية. ولا يزال النظام في صورة مسودة."},"entities":["CST","Global AI Hub Law","Council of Ministers"],"figures":[{"label":"consultation period (days)","label_ar":"مدة الاستطلاع","value":30,"unit":"count"}],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.clydeco.com/en/insights/2025/05/ksa-release-draft-global-ai-hub-law","publisher":"Clyde & Co","title":"Saudi Arabia releases a draft Global AI Hub Law redefining digital jurisdiction","published":"2025-05-01"},{"url":"https://cm.twobirds.com/en/insights/2025/ksa-public-consultation-on-draft-ai-hub-law","publisher":"Bird & Bird","title":"KSA: Public consultation on Draft AI Hub Law","published":null}],"verification":"verified","urls":{"en":"https://cicadaconsultancy.online/en/news/global-ai-hub-law-draft-2025","ar":"https://cicadaconsultancy.online/ar/news/global-ai-hub-law-draft-2025","markdown_en":"https://cicadaconsultancy.online/en/news/global-ai-hub-law-draft-2025.md","markdown_ar":"https://cicadaconsultancy.online/ar/news/global-ai-hub-law-draft-2025.md"},"image":"https://cicadaconsultancy.online/images/articles/global-ai-hub-law-draft-2025.jpg"}}
