November 4 2026
AS&H Clifford Chance is pleased to share this briefing on the Responsible AI Policy published by the Saudi Data & AI Authority (the "Policy").
The Policy represents a significant development in the Kingdom's AI regulatory landscape, introducing a risk-based approach to AI governance, accountability and oversight while supporting innovation and the responsible adoption of artificial intelligence.
Our briefing examines the key legal and governance requirements under the proposed framework, their practical implications for entities across the public, private and non-profit sectors, and the steps they should consider taking to prepare.
The briefing was authored by Managing Partner Fahad Abuhimed, Partner Hanan Hassanain, Senior Associate Muath Alsowayan and Junior Associate Zyad Alabduljabbar.
