AI factories will power Saudi Arabia’s next phase of digital transformation, NVIDIA says
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia is entering one of the biggest technology infrastructure shifts since the rise of cloud computing, with data centers set to evolve into artificial intelligence factories, a senior NVIDIA executive told Arab News.
Marc Domenech, vice president enterprise for Middle East, Turkey, and Africa and Southern Europe at the US-based multinational technology firm, said traditional facilities built to store, process and distribute information are evolving into infrastructure designed to generate intelligence at scale as organizations accelerate adoption of generative and agentic AI.
Saudi Arabia has accelerated investments in AI and digital infrastructure under Vision 2030 while attracting commitments from global technology companies.
According to the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, investments in the Kingdom’s data center sector have exceeded SR16 billion ($4.26 billion) since 2016.
