RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has achieved third place globally in the development of artificial intelligence models and in the growth rate of AI-related jobs.
According to Stanford University’s Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, the Kingdom ranks second globally in language model progress, behind only the US and China, and falls just behind India and Brazil in AI-related job growth.
The findings reflect the nation’s growing leadership in these advanced technologies, thanks to the efforts of the Saudi Authority for Data and Artificial Intelligence, driven by the directives of the country’s Vision 2030, which aims to elevate the Kingdom among leading economies in these areas.
Saudi Arabia’s strong performance across multiple metrics in the Stanford AI Index has solidified its position among the top 10 countries leading in AI.
Its third-place global ranking in advanced AI models and AI job-growth rates underscores the strength of the Kingdom’s innovation ecosystem, from its ability to develop sophisticated technologies such as ALLaM, one of the leading Arabic-language generative AI models, to its ongoing expansion of AI-related employment opportunities.
