Government Entities
It is the responsibility of government entities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to establish clear
policies and guidelines for the responsible use of generative artificial intelligence. This involves
consulting experts to assess legal risks and ensure compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations. Government entities must prioritize transparency by disclosing content created with
generative artificial intelligence. They should provide users with easy methods to identify content
generated with this technology and offer alternatives to non-automated communication when
users prefer human interactions.
Additionally, government entities must actively promote educational initiatives to enhance users’
understanding of generative artificial intelligence. This includes imparting knowledge on how to
critically evaluate content created with these tools and how to use these tools responsibly.
Generative Artificial Intelligence Guidelines For Government
How can government entities benefit from GenAI ?
Generative artificial intelligence offers a range of potential benefits to government entities that
can be leveraged. However, it is crucial for these entities to ensure that they do not violate the
guidelines mentioned in this document.
1. Enhancing Operational Efficiency
Generative artificial intelligence can help government employees complete time-consuming
tasks more efficiently, enabling them to redirect their focus toward more complex or strategic
activities.
Example: The department manager can request generative artificial intelligence to draft job
descriptions for newly created department functions and subsequently edit them, rather than
creating the descriptions from scratch.
2. Make Informed Decisions
Generative artificial intelligence services can assist users in making informed decisions by pro-
cessing large amounts of previous data, creating reports, and providing an overview of impor-
tant information.
Example: In the event of a new disease spreading, generative artificial intelligence can swiftly
offer an overview of the most effective measures taken by authorities in different countries pre-
viously, which will provide support to guide Saudi Arabia’s response.

3. Quality of Service and Citizen Support
Citizens’ experiences with government services can be enriched by deploying chatbots, for
example, generative artificial intelligence can be used to simplify user inquiries and support,
as well as to create personalized content and services to meet individual needs.
Example: A government entity can use a chatbot to provide a detailed explanation to users
on how to apply for a café license, enabling the user to avoid spending time and effort re-
searching the required legislation.
4. Accelerate the Research and Analysis Process
The research process across sectors, including healthcare, economics, and environmental
studies, can be accelerated through generative artificial intelligence, as it can help analyze
data, create summaries and reports, and streamline searches.
Example: Public Relations employees can leverage generative artificial intelligence to gen-
erate summaries of news from media outlets worldwide, to gain insights into how the world
perceives Saudi Arabia.
5. Crisis Response
During times of crisis or emergency, generative artificial intelligence can process and distrib-
ute vital information and help employees allocate resources efficiently.
Example: Generative artificial intelligence can process unstructured data from multiple
sources simultaneously, such as weather data, social media feeds, and emergency services
reports, to support Crisis Control Center operations.
