Enhancement of Arabic Language Processing

Saudi Arabia has started projects to improve Arabic language processing in order to address the language's underrepresentation in AI technology. The Artificial Intelligence Center for Arabic Language Processing was founded in Riyadh by the King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language with the goal of creating AI-powered language innovations. To improve machine interactions with the Arabic language, this facility includes specialized labs for AI research, data processing, and virtual reality applications. The National Strategy for Data and Artificial Intelligence, which aims to establish the Kingdom as a worldwide leader in data and AI by 2030, is in line with these initiatives. Additionally, Saudi Arabia is fostering collaborations with international AI research institutions and technology firms to accelerate Arabic language AI development. These initiatives utilize deep learning, NLP, and large language models to enhance Arabic speech recognition, sentiment analysis, and machine translation. The government is also supporting AI-driven content creation and digital assistants tailored for Arabic-speaking users, ensuring greater linguistic inclusivity in the digital space. As AI adoption grows, these advancements will play a crucial role in bridging the gap between Arabic and other widely supported languages in global AI ecosystems.
