Such initiatives will positively impact the Saudi Arabia AI Market.
AI makes historical data accessibility more reasonable to several sectors, while allowing government agencies & healthcare institutions to build unstructured data accessible to the research domain. With AI, researchers can access datasets more easily, from the historic rain trend to clinical imaging. AI helps researchers and scientists to innovate at a faster rate by providing access to rich datasets and advanced computing infrastructure.
Additionally, there is a growing demand for AI in various industries such as healthcare, automotive, and manufacturing due to the progress in Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). ANN extracts accurate and precise data by substitution of conventional machine learning systems. Single Shot Multibox Detector (SSD) and Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) have provided techniques for digital image processing. This has increased the adoption of digital image processing in areas such as healthcare, security & surveillance, and transportation. All these factors surge the growth of the AI market in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, Saudi Arabia formed Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) in 2019 to supervise AI strategies and initiatives to generate more revenue and surge Saudi Arabia’s economy. These initiatives are expected to accelerate the growth of the Saudi Arabia AI market.
Government Initiatives
KSA has established data and AI authority to lead KSA data and AI strategy, regulation, policymaking and enablement. KSA’s AI & Data Authority will empower public sector to adopt AI use cases. This type of environment helps in AI technologies testing and refinement within the regulatory supervision and helps in providing valuable insights coupled with effective governance mechanisms to suits specific industries. Though Saudi Arabia is taking steps towards education reform for AI and data science skills, more focused efforts will be necessary to attract and retain a pipeline of top-tier, globally-competitive talent.
