SDAIA launches national data, AI curriculum

The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) has launched the National Cross-Disciplinary Curriculum for University Students in Data and AI to equip all undergraduates across Saudi universities with essential skills and practical fundamentals. Introduced during the International Conference on Data and AI Capacity Building, the initiative was developed in collaboration with King Saud University, the Human Capability Development Program, and Elm to ensure a standardized level of core knowledge across all academic disciplines. This curriculum enables universities to implement mandatory coursework that promotes the responsible use of AI tools for learning and decision-making, specifically empowering non-specialists to apply these technologies within their respective fields rather than limiting expertise to computer science. The program aims to integrate data literacy into the broader workforce and support the kingdom’s strategic goals for digital capacity building.
