The Arab region’s capacity for Artificial Intelligence (AI) governance remains limited relative to the accelerating pace of global AI developments and associated challenges.
Stated conclusion in the executive report based on a regional field study (authors' analysis of interviews/surveys and research across the region).
These harms increasingly translate into financial loss through litigation, enforcement penalties, brand erosion, and failed deployments.
Paper argues this linkage using conceptual reasoning and illustrative examples/case vignettes; cites regulatory and market incidents but does not provide systematic empirical estimates or a sample size.
AI systems can create material harms: discriminatory outcomes, privacy and security failures, opacity in decision logic, and regulatory noncompliance.
Paper lists these harms as core risks based on prior literature, regulatory developments, and conceptual risk analysis. Presented as well-documented categories rather than as new empirical findings; no sample size reported.
