Dr. Intisar Al-Kayyal, Vice President of the Artificial Intelligence Governance Association, said that artificial intelligence currently lacks ethical awareness. She noted that while AI systems can identify data and suggest decisions or actions automatically, they do not understand concepts such as harm, responsibility, or consequences. Therefore, accountability remains with individuals and institutions.

Speaking in a phone interview with Al-Ikhbariya Radio, Dr. Al-Kayyal added that humans must review, audit, and monitor AI systems, and should not grant them full autonomy in decision-making.

She emphasized that responsibilities should be clearly defined from the initial design and development of AI models, through their testing and deployment, and continuing with their use and monitoring after launch.
