         Presentation and        Recently, Naif Arab University for Security Sciences published a
          Commentary by          comprehensive security policy analysis paper focusing on the field
                                 of super artificial intelligence applications. The paper specifically
         Prof. Sayed Amer        highlights the direct challenges that these advancements pose
       Naif Arab University for  to certain components of national security in Arab countries.. It
                                 emphasizes the rapid advancements in super artificial intelligence
           Security Sciences     technologies in recent times, whichrepresent the most advanced and
                                 dangerous emerging technologies. These technologies are considered

                                 its various manifestations. It is expected that these technologies will
                                 change the course of humanity due to their multiple capabilities that
                                 surpass human intelligence, encompassing a wide range of cognitive
                                 and technical tasks.
                                 The development of these technologies raises numerous concerns and
                                 security-related challenges. These include the loss of human ability to
                                 guide and control these systems, the potential displacement of human
                                 roles and jobs, and the conflict between this advancement and human
                                 values. Thus, leading to undesirable catastrophic outcomes that could
                                 impact the future of national security in Arab countries.
                                 Recently, artificial intelligence and its various applications have gained
                                 significant prominence in several Arab countries since it has the
                                 potential to drive economic growth and sustainable social development.
                                 The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have
                                 adopted artificial intelligence technology, announcing several strategic
                                 projects and investments in the field, in addition to the continuous
                                 research and development in technological infrastructure. This
                                 consequently contributes to the growth of artificial intelligence
                                 applications and models in the Arab region, fosters innovation, and
                                 opens new opportunities for these applications in various sectors of
                                 society.
                                 Nevertheless, one of the main challenges in the Arab region regarding
                                 the adoption of artificial intelligence applications is the insufficient and
                                 inadequate technological infrastructure to accommodate the expected
                                 developments in digital infrastructure devices, and data privacy
                                 limitations. This poses an obstacle to the development of technology
