The Kingdom advanced by seven places on the index, moving up from 29th place in 2019. The US ranked first followed by China, the UK, Canada, Israel, Germany, the Netherlands, South Korea, France and Singapore.
Commenting on improving seven places in the index, Abdullah bin Sharaf Al-Ghamdi, chairman of the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), said: “The Kingdom’s progression to seven places in the Global AI index in one year affirmed the leadership’s constant support for this pivotal sector at the national level.”
The rise is the result of efforts to integrate government agencies and entities that took part in National Transformation Program (NTP 2020) initiatives taken in line with the Saudi Vision 2030, he said.
