Saudi Arabia expands efforts to train local workers for artificial intelligence
Saudi Arabia is stepping up training and education programs to build a domestic workforce for artificial intelligence as it seeks to reduce reliance on foreign expertise.
Saudi Arabia is broadening efforts to develop local talent for artificial intelligence, with officials and institutions focusing on education, training and skills-building to support the kingdom’s digital plans. The push is aimed at preparing more Saudi nationals for jobs in a sector expected to shape future growth.
The initiative comes as the country works to strengthen its technology base and lessen dependence on imported expertise, according to Asharq Al-Awsat. It reflects a wider state-backed drive to align universities, training programs and industry needs with the demands of AI development.
The report said the effort is part of a longer-term strategy to position Saudi Arabia for the next phase of technological change. It also points to the role of national talent in meeting the labor needs of an industry that is expanding quickly across the region and beyond.
