UNESCO’s Assistant Director-General Lydia Arthur recently visited the headquarters of the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority and the International Centre for Research and Ethics in Artificial Intelligence in Riyadh.
Arthur was briefed on the SDAIA’s efforts in the sector, and the support the Kingdom provides to the UNESCO-affiliated ICAIRE to carry out its international missions, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Friday.
Arthur praised the Kingdom for introducing regulations governing the use of AI, particularly its model for ethical adoption. She said the Kingdom’s model should be adopted more widely at a global level.
During the visit, she reviewed the work of the ICAIRE center and its international efforts to promote responsible uses, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The ICAIRE organization seeks to advance research and ethics through international cooperation, champion awareness, nurture skills development, and provide policy advice, according to its website.
