Riyadh, 28th February 2024: Evolving as the biggest market for technology innovation in the Middle East and North Africa, the Kingdom has taken a bold initiative in the AI space. Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) in collaboration with NVIDIA has launched an Artificial Intelligence academy with the objective of fostering skilled national talents for global competitiveness.
While AI is projected to add more than $135.2 billion to the country’s economy in 2030, the academy will pave the way for more advancements in the AI space. With smart city projects in Saudi Arabia going beyond all conventional approaches, this move is said to improve the integration of AI in the futuristic cities.
Furthermore, the Kingdom’s digital economy is anticipated for further growth following a dialogue between Abdullah Al-Swaha, Minister of Communications and Information Technology and the CEO of NVIDIA, Jensen Huang, to solidify their partnership. The two underscored the scope of Generative AI for facilitating tech innovations and investment opportunities.
