The draft sets four risk tiers, critical, high, limited and low, under which critical-risk systems could not be released and high-risk systems would need safety reports and test results accredited by SDAIA. It also covers testing, monitoring, data protection, cybersecurity, content moderation, non-discrimination and registration.","ar":"فتحت الهيئة السعودية للبيانات والذكاء الاصطناعي (سدايا) في 3 أبريل 2026 باب الاستطلاع العام لمدة شهر ينتهي في 3 مايو 2026 على مسودة سياسة الذكاء الاصطناعي المسؤول، التي تنطبق على القطاعات الحكومية والخاصة وغير الربحية، وعلى الأفراد الذين يطورون تطبيقات الذكاء الاصطناعي أو ينشرونها. وتضع المسودة أربعة مستويات للمخاطر هي: الحرجة، والعالية، والمحدودة، والمنخفضة، بحيث لا يجوز إطلاق الأنظمة الحرجة، وتحتاج الأنظمة عالية المخاطر إلى تقارير سلامة ونتائج اختبار معتمدة من سدايا. وتشمل المسودة كذلك الاختبار والمتابعة وحماية البيانات والأمن السيبراني وإدارة المحتوى وعدم التمييز والتسجيل."},"entities":["SDAIA","Responsible AI Policy"],"figures":[{"label":"risk tiers","label_ar":"فئات المخاطر","value":4,"unit":"count"},{"label":"consultation length (months)","label_ar":"مدة الاستطلاع (بالأشهر)","value":1,"unit":"count"}],"sources":[{"url":"https://digitalpolicyalert.org/change/19003-responsible-ai-policy","publisher":"Digital Policy Alert","title":"Responsible AI Policy (SDAIA draft)","published":null},{"url":"https://digitalpolicyalert.org/event/39096-saudi-data-and-artificial-intelligence-authority-opened-consultation-on-draft-responsible-ai-policy-including-organisational-requirement","publisher":"Digital Policy Alert","title":"SDAIA opened consultation on draft Responsible AI Policy","published":"2026-04-03"}],"verification":"verified","urls":{"en":"https://cicadaconsultancy.online/en/news/sdaia-responsible-ai-policy-draft-2026","ar":"https://cicadaconsultancy.online/ar/news/sdaia-responsible-ai-policy-draft-2026","markdown_en":"https://cicadaconsultancy.online/en/news/sdaia-responsible-ai-policy-draft-2026.md","markdown_ar":"https://cicadaconsultancy.online/ar/news/sdaia-responsible-ai-policy-draft-2026.md"},"image":"https://cicadaconsultancy.online/images/articles/sdaia-responsible-ai-policy-draft-2026.jpg"}}
