The SDAIA Mandate.
The Saudi Data & Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) serves as the central constitutional body for the Kingdom's digital transition. Unlike fragmented Western models, SDAIA controls the entire lifecycle: from the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) enforcement to the architectural design of the National AI Cloud.
Compliance Architecture: Organizations deploying frontier models in the Kingdom must adhere to the "Responsible AI Principles," which prioritize data sovereignty, cultural alignment (Arabic LLMs), and systemic robustness against adversarial manipulation.
