management capabilities and regulatory readiness, in line with its vision to drive

sustainable and compliant AI innovation.

The achievement coincides with the exponential growth of the global AI market. However,

research reveals that a staggering 65 per cent of organisations fail to ensure AI regulatory

compliance, while almost 73 per cent of leaders worry about AI risks, with nearly half of the

organisations being vulnerable to cybersecurity threats.

In such a scenario, adopting responsible AI practices is a strategic imperative, as they

enable organisations to systematically identify and mitigate AI-related risks early on,

demonstrate enhanced credibility and build stakeholder confidence, while preparing for

possible future regulations. The ISO 42001 certification is a key milestone as it can

transform the way organisations manage AI systems by addressing the pressing need for
robust AI governance in today’s dynamic digital landscape.

“We are honoured to receive this global certification, which highlights Unifonic’s

relentless pursuit of excellence and commitment to responsible AI practices. This

remarkable achievement has paved the way for enhanced transparency, data privacy,

accountability and fairness. It further marks a key milestone in our long-standing

efforts to drive sustainable AI innovation, while enhancing stakeholder trust and

ensuring regulatory readiness.”

– Ahmed Hamdan, CEO & Co-Founder, Unifonic

Unifonic is one of the first companies in KSA and the MENA region to earn this exemplary

achievement, which further highlights its commitment to building trust, transparency and

compliance. It also positions the organisation as a pioneer in responsible AI governance,

ensuring clear AI system documentation, protection of sensitive information throughout the

AI lifecycle, as well as seamless delegation of AI governance responsibilities. Notably, this

aligns with the Kingdom’s commitment to investing in AI and empowering institutions to

adopt advanced AI systems.
