In recent years, the Gulf countries, particularly the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have been actively pursuing advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) to position themselves as major players in the global AI landscape. However, this ambition is now being shared by other Gulf nations as well.
A report by consultancy PwC suggests that AI could potentially contribute $320 billion to the Middle East by 2030, representing about 2% of the total global benefits. The Middle East is witnessing significant investments in AI, with experts noting a higher willingness in the region to experiment and engage with AI technologies compared to other parts of the world.
