%X This article is a narrative review discussing the role of AI in the decision-making process of hospital administration in Saudi healthcare, how it is used, and its impact on efficiency, obstacles, and implications of the policy. The method of the narrative literature review was selected, and it required the examination of the peer-reviewed articles that were published from 2019 to 2025. The databases that were utilized to determine relevant literature were: PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The findings indicate that AI tools, including predictive analytics, clinical decision support systems, and workflow optimisation tools, have a massive influence on operational efficiency, enable one to make correct decisions, and improve patient outcomes. Administration that is done using AI in the hospital system results in improved allocation of resources, reduced waiting time, and delivery of services. Artificial intelligence is not yet advanced in Saudi Arabia, although it is well aligned with the goals of healthcare transformation, as pointed out in Vision 2030. The key challenges include the high cost of implementation, lack of technical expertise, opposition to the alterations, and such ethical considerations as data privacy and biased algorithms. AI has painted a wonderful prospect to improve decision-making by the hospital administration in Saudi Arabia. In order to have a successful introduction of AI, one must invest in a strategic way, prepare the workforce, and establish effective governance systems in such a way that they will have sustainable and ethical application in the healthcare field.
