Artificial Intelligence Act .. Does Saudi Arabia become an international arbitration center to resolve technological disputes?

With the acceleration of the development of artificial intelligence technologies beyond the ability of legal systems to keep track of, Saudi Arabia launched a concept of ‘Global Artificial Intelligence Center Law’ in April 2025, with the aim of being the kingdom, not just a center for management and storage of artificial intelligence, but also an international justice. Districts. This trend is based on the kingdom’s growing experiences in the field of commercial arbitration, and on an attractive legislative and legal system for investment. Below, we shed light on the legislation of artificial intelligence taught by the kingdom, and the extent of Saudi Arabia’s ability to transform into an international arbitration center to resolve technological disputes. What do we know about the Saudi -ai Act? According to the Saudi Communication, Space and Technology Authority, the system contains three advanced models for data centers, which are the ‘private center’, which target different countries in the world to offer their data and services, as well as the ‘extensive center’ and ‘virtual center’, which serves technology, artificial intelligence and large clouds of cloud to offer their clients around the world.

It also aims to improve the position of the Kingdom as a global center for artificial intelligence and leadership in advanced technologies, by creating an attractive environment for foreign governments and private sector institutions to develop these technologies and adopt it for peaceful purposes and uses. To what extent can arbitration provide an effective solution for artificial intelligence conflicts? Arbitration is one of the most effective means to resolve conflict arising from the use and development of artificial intelligence techniques, especially in light of the technical and legislative complexity surrounding these technologies. The Kingdom makes advanced efforts to develop itself in the field of artificial intelligence and commercial arbitration to combine the two in a professional way as it seeks to build a legal and regulatory environment in accordance with its Vision 2030, and supports the digital economy and investment in innovation. At the same time, it has an advanced experience in the field of commercial arbitration by the ‘Saudi Commercial Arbitration Center’, which was founded in 2016, and managed dozens of boundary papers. According to the CEO of the Center, Hamid Mira, after all Sharq Channel, the number of issues with which the center was treated by 59% increased during the year 2024 compared to 2023. in a move to the purpose of achieving the efficiency. Disputes, including those related to artificial intelligence techniques. The Saudi Commercial Center Center is aimed at expanding to China and India, as the Saudi trend stems from the world’s lack of the appropriate legislative environment to resolve artificial intelligence issues, where a study issued in 2020, the International Academy of Mediation and Arbitration (IMA) -which is an independent private party in arbitration and mediation is, which contains another system that is a technical tendency that is a technical tendency that is a technical tendency, which contains another system sectors, it takes on the principles of human rights, transparency and safety. What is the difference between the Saudi model and traditional arbitration centers? Unlike traditional models, the new Saudi Act separates the infrastructure and legal responsibility, described by Clyde & Co as a ‘global organizational precedent’. Read more: Saudi Arabia leads the boom of data centers in the Middle East and that distinguishes this Saudi offering is to overcome the traditional model. According to the report “Club & Co”, the dismissal of the infrastructure of legal responsibility opens the door for providing neutral legal environments that work within the Kingdom’s boundaries, which can be called “digital embassies”. In the midst of the complications of laws such as the European Regulation of Data Protection (GDP) and US Act, known as “Claude”, Saudi Arabia provides a legitimate model that is neutral, the speed of response and clarity of procedures. Saudi Arabia strives to increase the contribution of artificial intelligence with the local product to $ 130 billion. More details here and in a special statement to “Al -Sharq”, Hani Al -Ghafili, chairman of the Digital Economy Center directors, said that the kingdom had already begun to secure the future of this sector within the vision. The training and qualification of national powers is key to owning this sector. Can Saudi Arabia manage to attract great artificial intelligence businesses for arbitration? The matter is not completely excluded, given the development of the kingdom’s legal environment and the supportive digital structure, especially after the Saudi commercial arbitration center launched modern rules that include technical conflicts, as well as a complete electronic arbitration by a digital portal, which makes the procedures suitable for the nature of global artificial intelligence. According to the Center report for 2023, arbitration requests increased by 295% compared to 2020, reflecting the growing regional and international confidence. On the other hand, the Kingdom is strongly invested in artificial intelligence by ‘Sayya’ and ‘Humayen’, in addition to presenting the global artificial intelligence summit, and its attraction for large companies such as ‘Google’, ‘Sense Time’, ‘Inviteia’ and ‘Amazon’ to improve the technical disparations, which can gain the main business. What are the most important challenges that can hinder the ambition of Saudi Arabia to lead the global legal framework for artificial intelligence? Although there is a real opportunity for Saudi Arabia to lead the legal system of artificial intelligence, there are some existing challenges. The absence of a united international reference, and the lack of specialized cadres that combines legal and technical knowledge, forms two basic holes on this path. The balance between the encouragement of innovation and the development of accurate regulatory frameworks also forms a different accurate challenge, in addition to strong competition from major countries such as the United States, China and the European Union, which in turn is trying to draw up its global legal standards. The success of this tendency depends on the ability of Saudi Arabia to provide successful and convincing legal models. If it is able to establish a jury specializing in cases of artificial intelligence, and to build a reliable legal environment that attracts international platforms and businesses, the kingdom can for many years become a regional and international player in shaping the legal economy for the digital era.
