The Saudi Ministry of Culture was presented with the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Ethics Medal for 2024 in recognition of its innovative work in this area on the sidelines of the 3rd Global AI Summit 2024 (GAIN Summit), reported the Saudi Press Agency on Friday.
The summit was organized by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) and concluded in Riyadh on Thursday.
The Ministry was granted the award in recognition of its dedication to applying ethical standards to the use of AI technology. It was one of the first institutions to embrace the AI ethics project in September 2022.
The AI ethics initiative is a part of the ongoing government efforts to back Saudi Arabia’s AI national strategy. Its goals include bolstering economic growth, establishing clear guidelines for AI ethics, and supporting and promoting research and innovation in the field.
