Artificial intelligence is no longer a future consideration. It is a live issue shaping decision-making across all industries. As Saudi Arabia accelerates its digital transformation agenda, the public sector is deploying increasingly autonomous and intelligent systems to manage services, allocate resources, and anticipate citizen needs. With this progress comes a new mandate: AI must be governed with the same rigor as any critical public infrastructure.
The rise of agentic and generative AI, systems capable of making decisions, adapting to new information, and operating with minimal human oversight, amplifies both the opportunity and the risk. Trust, transparency, and accountability are no longer optional. They are foundational to maintaining legitimacy and delivering on the promise of AI-enhanced governance.
This edition of MIT SMR Connections, hosted in partnership with SAS, brings together senior government leaders, technologists, and policy thinkers to chart a path forward. Through focused dialogue, the session will explore how public sector organizations can build resilient governance frameworks, scale AI capabilities responsibly, and ensure that trust remains central to every stage of AI deployment.
An opportunity for technology leaders and AI experts from the public sectors to connect, exchange ideas, and engage informally before the session.
A moderated discussion exploring the challenges and opportunities in deploying transparent, ethical AI agents and enterprise decisioning platforms within government. Participants will share insights on governance models, operational scalability, and balancing human-machine collaboration.
A closing summary of key insights, shared perspectives, and forward-looking considerations on trustworthy AI adoption in government.
