Saudi Arabia is positioning itself as a leading center for artificial intelligence (AI) and automation. Long defined by hydrocarbons, the Kingdom is now aligning its economic diversification with data- driven innovation. Guided by Vision 2030, ministries, companies and universities are accelerating the shift towards a modern, technology-enabled economy.

 

AI is viewed as a catalyst to reduce dependence on oil and drive innovation across various sectors such as healthcare, finance, logistics, energy, and government services.
