By developing our own AI strategy and policies, we have developed the skills and resources that we wish to share with other nations to ensure that all countries are equally prepared to harness the value of AI,\u201d said Majid AlShehry, a spokesperson for the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority, a government office linked directly to the prime minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the GITEX trade show, the organization showcased three developments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The Boroog platform, a secure government videoconferencing system, used for the G-20 summit. SDAIA disclosed in November that the authority has repelled more than 2 million cyberattacks using special protections it had developed.<\/li><li>The Tawakkalna app, designed to support government efforts aimed at countering COVID-19. It facilitates the issuance of movement permits electronically during curfews for government and private sector employees.<\/li><li>AI Artathon, the first international artificial intelligence art competition held in Saudi Arabia.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AlShehry stressed SDAIA is helping during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in the economic and defense sectors, by tracking data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSDAIA has responded to COVID-19 by creating the operations center for supporting the security and health sectors in tackling the coronavirus pandemic,\u201d he said. \u201cThe center has helped decision-makers to develop effective strategies based on data and facts and supported the nation\u2019s precautionary measures to combat the spread of the virus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The operations center has utilized the datasets from the National Data Bank (NDB), together with its Estishraf platform\u2019s advanced capabilities, to help analyze data, he added. In addition, the group makes use of platforms from its operational arm, the National Information Center (NIC), when required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese efforts have played a significant role in helping to contain the virus and reducing its impact on people and the economy,\u201d AlShehry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SDAIA, established in 2019, is a government body directly linked to the prime minister. It is chaired by the board of directors deputy prime minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSaudi Arabia is at the crossroads of three continents. We believe that our experience in placing AI at the center of the kingdom\u2019s transformation, together with our position between the East and the West, makes Saudi Arabia an ideal place for the world to come and partner with us in our journey to move AI in the right direction for the benefit of humanity,\u201d AlShehry said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Saudi
