Abstract

Artificial intelligence technologies are the most modern developments that the world is witnessing at the present time, and most countries of the world seek to exploit these technologies for the great potential and opportunities they provide in developing and improving various economic, social and political aspects. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia gives great attention to developing and adopting artificial intelligence applications. This study aims to study and analyze the challenges and risks resulting from the use of artificial intelligence technologies in the context of achieving the goals of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, of which approximately 66 goals depend on artificial intelligence and big data technologies. The study adopts the methodology of descriptive analysis and systematic review of the literature related to the challenges of artificial intelligence in the public sector. The study presented a model that classified the challenges into six different categories: the technical challenges category, the economic challenges category, the socio-cultural challenges category, the legal and ethical challenges category, the organizational challenges category, and finally the political challenges. This classification provides a reference framework that helps decision-makers develop effective strategies to address these challenges and enhance the use of this technology in a way that serves the comprehensive and sustainable development of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
