EVENT OVERVIEW

Navigating the future of AI governance in the Gulf


The GCC is leading global innovation in artificial intelligence — but with sovereign AI strategies come new governance imperatives.

Traditional compliance models can't scale to meet continuous supervision demands, and imported frameworks don't reflect regional regulatory realities.

In response, this forum explores practical pathways from AI policy to scalable, evidence-driven assurance.
