Saudi Arabia moves from AI consumer to global producer, expert says

Artificial intelligence specialist Essam Al-Qubaisi has said that Nvidia’s reliance on Saudi voice data to develop a dialect model demonstrates that Saudi Arabia has moved from consuming artificial intelligence to producing it and competing globally.

Speaking in a phone interview with Al-Ikhbariya TV, he added that this reliance also represents a significant development and highlights the great value of local data.

Al-Qubaisi emphasized that there is an opportunity to build an integrated ecosystem of high-quality Saudi data, infrastructure, computing power, and talent, which would enable Saudi Arabia to play a greater role in the AI industry, not just as a user.
