The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) announced today the opening of registration for the Artificial Intelligence Professional Badges in Saudi Arabia, which were launched earlier this year during the International Conference on Data and AI Capacity Building (ICAN 2026).
This phase covers two specializations: AI Engineer, which focuses on practical skills in developing AI models and systems, and Data Scientist, which focuses on algorithm development and analytical capabilities.
Applicants will go through a standardized three-level assessment framework supervised by an independent scientific committee made up of researchers, academics, and experts from both the public and private sectors. The framework is designed to assess scientific competence, analytical ability, and practical skills accurately and objectively.

Through this initiative, SDAIA aims to empower national human capital and provide various sectors with a reliable benchmark for identifying highly qualified talent.
