Saudi Arabia Launches Major Initiative to Boost AI Education
The Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA) has introduced new educational resources aimed at increasing artificial intelligence (AI) awareness among students and teachers across Saudi Arabia. This initiative is part of the Ministry of Education’s “Back to School” campaign and is actively promoted through the authority’s social media channels.
The program focuses on integrating AI tools into the educational process to develop both cognitive and technical skills. By supporting modern teaching methods, it encourages educators to incorporate AI concepts practically within classrooms.
Building a Knowledge-Based Society
This effort supports Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goal of creating a knowledge-driven society capable of competing on a global scale. The initiative aligns with the rollout of a new AI curriculum that spans all levels of general education. Developed collaboratively by the National Centre for Curriculum and relevant ministries, the curriculum includes interactive units appropriate for various age groups.
Empowering One Million Saudis in AI
The initiative is a joint effort between SDAIA, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development. It seeks to empower one million Saudis with AI skills, complementing the new curriculum and helping prepare a generation ready to meet future challenges.
