Abstract
This study analyses emerging artificial-intelligence policy in Arab states and places it on an axis between protective regulation and open enablement. It reads the regulatory texts issued through 2026 against actual capacity in infrastructure and skills, revealing a gap between declared ambition and instruments of implementation. It proposes a policy sequence that begins with data governance and ends with frameworks of legal liability.
