Jeddah, November 12, 2024 – The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) is actively participating in the 10th Forum of the Arab Division of Experts in Geographical Names, an event hosted by the General Authority for Survey and Geospatial Information from November 10 to 12 in Jeddah. Under the theme “Strengthening relations and links between Arab states in the field of geographical names,” the forum serves as a collaborative platform for knowledge exchange and enhanced coordination among Arab countries in geographical naming standards and practices.
At the forum, SDAIA is presenting an innovative glossary of key terms in data and artificial intelligence (AI), created in collaboration with the King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language. This glossary is a carefully curated compilation of essential technical terminology with clear, accessible definitions in both Arabic and English, designed to enhance understanding and consistency in the use of data and AI language across the Arab world.
The glossary represents the work of specialized national experts at SDAIA, with each term carefully reviewed and refined through a structured four-stage process to ensure both technical and linguistic accuracy. This rigorous methodology was guided by a dedicated committee of experts from both SDAIA and the King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language, ensuring the glossary’s definitions meet high standards of clarity and precision.
In addition to the glossary, SDAIA is showcasing another significant resource at the forum: the Data and AI Radar, an online tool available on SDAIA’s official website. The radar is a pioneering achievement that categorizes and tracks the latest data and AI technologies based on their maturity and potential impact. This interactive platform provides an accessible way for users to explore and assess various emerging technologies in the data and AI domains, making it an invaluable resource for both experts and the general public.
The interactive version of the Data and AI Radar can be accessed at https://sdaia.gov.sa/en/MediaCenter/KnowledgeCenter/RadarChart/index.html, where visitors can delve into a dynamic representation of data and AI advancements that highlights trends, technological readiness, and anticipated benefits. Through these initiatives, SDAIA continues to strengthen Saudi Arabia’s role as a leader in data and AI in the region, driving forward the nation’s vision for technological innovation and linguistic precision in the digital age.
