The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Forum 2025 has awarded SDAIA a Certificate of Excellence for organizing the first global edition of the International AI Olympiad (IAIO).
During the 2025 award ceremony, the WSIS recognized the IAIO as an unparalleled project in Category 7 (E-Science), according to the Saudi Press Agency.
The ceremony also represented an integral part of the AI for Good Summit in Geneva held from July 8 to 11.
This recognition reflects the ongoing efforts of the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) to boost innovation and elevate national and international capacities of the artificial intelligence.
Through advanced initiatives and programs, SDAIA also seeks to empower national talents and build the technological and programming skills of the future leaders.
Crucially, the awarded projects constitute only 9% of the total number of projects submitted to the annual WSIS Prizes.
Organized by the UN International Telecommunication Union (ITU), WSIS Prizes witnessed the participation of over 194 countries, mirroring the significance of global competition.
In collaboration with the International Center for AI Research and Ethics (ICAIRE), AI Olympiad featured participants from more than 25 countries around the world.
By hosting such a prestigious exhibition, SDAIA offers an international platform for AI competitions and an umbrella that brings together brilliant minds and spreads the concept of the Smart Olympiad among current generations.
