Dr. Abdullah Bin Sharaf Alghamdi, president of the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), is set to participate in the inaugural AI Safety Summit, hosted by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at Bletchley Park from Nov. 1-2. The AI Safety Summit, a global first of its kind, aims to bring together key nations, leading technology organizations, academia, and civil society to shape both national and international AI policymaking. The summit"s venue holds significant historical importance as Bletchley Park, located approximately 80 km northwest of London, served as the site where Alan Turing and his team successfully decrypted the Enigma code during World War II. SDAIA stands at the forefront of Saudi Arabia"s digital transformation, championing a future driven by people-centric AI. Integral to the realization of Saudi Vision 2030, SDAIA"s contributions have resulted in substantial cost savings for government entities, underscoring the Kingdom"s steadfast commitment to an AI-centric future. In a testament to this commitment, Saudi Arabia, supported by SDAIA, secured the top position in the Global AI Index 2023 and claimed the second spot in Stanford University"s 2023 Societal AI Awareness Ranking, further solidifying its position on the global AI stage. — SG
