This move coincides with U.S. President Donald Trump‘s visit to Saudi Arabia, where AI is expected to be a major discussion point during the joint Saudi-US investment forum in Riyadh.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest crude oil exporter, is embarking on a profound transformation. Through its Vision 2030 program, the nation seeks to diversify its economy, reducing its reliance on oil exports and fostering sustainable growth. This ambitious initiative aims to reshape the country’s economic and social landscape.

This development aligns with the kingdom’s efforts to expand its AI capabilities. Notably, Salesforce announced plans to invest $500 million in Saudi Arabia’s AI sector earlier this year, highlighting the country’s growing appeal to tech investors.
