SDAIA Calls on Local, Foreign Contractors to Participate in AI Oases

The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) called on local and foreign contracting companies to join in the establishment of an interactive system that creates and launches artificial intelligence (AI) oases in the Kingdom.

Speaking at the virtual Future Projects Forum 2021 (FPF), Mohammed al-Salami of SDAIA said that the oases will be a national reference in the digital and technical development of AI applications.

He announced that the project will be the first of its kind regionally and will help achieve Vision 2030 while providing a diverse, qualitative and unique environment that targets all segments of society with educational and entertainment experiences.

He unveiled the "King Salman Oasis“ project in the north of Riyadh, stating it will be followed by other oases.

The Forum kicked off Monday with over 37 public and private entities that presented around 1,000 projects in various fields including electricity, real estate, industrial intelligence, and water.

During the forum, Roshn CEO David Grover said that the company is designing 3,000 homes with their accompanying infrastructure, including 12 neighborhoods that will house 35,000 people in major Saudi regions.

The company is looking for qualified supervisors to complete the design and construction stage and finalize its Jeddah project to be launched next
