Nearly everyone in Saudi Arabia now uses AI. This report shows the six very different people behind that number — and where each of them draws the line.
Across age, gender, income, region and education, AI use barely moves — it is close to universal. The differences that matter are about trust: how far people will let AI into decisions that are personal, financial, or sacred. On that question, the market splits into six distinct segments.التبنّي شبه شامل؛ أما الفارق الحقيقي فهو في الثقة — إلى أي حدٍّ يسمح الناس للذكاء الاصطناعي بالدخول في قراراتهم.
Each segment is placed by how deeply it has adopted AI (horizontal) and how much it trusts it (vertical). Bubble size is the share of the population. Select any segment for its full profile.كل قطاع موضوعٌ حسب عمق التبنّي (أفقياً) ومقدار الثقة (رأسياً)، وحجم الدائرة يمثّل حصته من السكان.

Comfort is high when AI recommends, plans and simplifies. It falls sharply the moment a task becomes personal, moral or consequential — faith and life decisions sit at the bottom for every segment.الارتياح مرتفع حين يوصي الذكاء الاصطناعي ويُنظّم ويُبسّط، ويتراجع بشدّة حين يصبح القرار شخصياً أو أخلاقياً أو مصيرياً.
Share comfortable letting AI handle each task (top-2 box).
Concerns differ by segment in degree, not in kind. Data privacy tops the list across the board, followed by over-reliance and jobs.تختلف المخاوف بين القطاعات في الدرجة لا في النوع، وتتصدّرها الخصوصية.

Arabic is the default across every segment. The single most requested improvement, from casual and power users alike, is simply better Arabic.العربية هي الأصل لدى كل القطاعات، وأكثر تحسينٍ مطلوب هو ببساطة عربية أفضل.
A single-source survey, segmented on behaviour and attitude — the same rigour Survey Arabia brings to every commissioned study.
686 Saudi adults, surveyed online in Arabic during June 2026, across all regions of the Kingdom. An online frame skews slightly younger and more connected than the national population.
Six archetypes derived by clustering respondents on their AI behaviour and attitudes — how much they use AI, what for, whether they pay, and how far they trust it across tasks.
Adoption and trust are indexed 0–100. Comfort is a 1–5 mean per task. Named individuals are illustrative composites that summarise each group's answer patterns — not real respondents.
