The Middle East Emerges as AI Investment Hub
The region's AI investment fund and Public Investment Fund are working together to establish themselves as leaders in this field. Nvidia will supply advanced AI chips to Saudi Arabia's Humain, a move that is expected to enhance the country's ability to develop and implement AI solutions.
Amazon is investing $5 billion in an 'AI zone' project in Saudi Arabia, which will utilize its cloud services to create a marketplace of AI agents for the Saudi government. OpenAI is also considering expanding its data center capacity in the UAE, with an announcement potentially coming during President Trump's visit on May 15.
The investments and partnerships announced so far are expected to drive economic growth, create jobs, and foster innovation in the region.
