It is the centerpieceof every major industry discussion, from the futuristic corridors of LEAP in SaudiArabia to the innovation-packed halls of many other AI summits across the world.GenAI, a groundbreaking subset of AI, has been rapidly expanding and reshaping our lives inunprecedented ways. In a survey of 16,033 employees in 16 countries, the Oliver Wyman Forumfound that 55% of respondents reported using GenAI at least once a week. Looking at specificcountries, India saw the highest rate of use at 83%. Comparatively, 68% of workers in Saudi Arabiaand 46% in the US said they use it at least once a week.Exhibit 1: Percentage of weekly GenAI usersGlobalUSASaudi Arabia55%46%68%1. Oliver Wyman Analysis, complementary survey done on Saudi ArabiaSource: Oliver Wyman ForumThese exponential figures of adoption underscore the technology’s transformative potential to result insignificant efficiency improvements. The Oliver Wyman research predicts that GenAI could add up to$20 trillion to global GDP by 2030 and save 300 billion work hours a year. 11 5As GenAI evolves, it not only promises to be a significant economic driver but also poses ethicaland societal challenges that spark global debate, highlighting the need for responsible developmentand deployment. Its broad applicability and potential make it imperative for stakeholders across thespectrum to engage in continuous dialogue, research, and collaboration to harness the benefits ofGenAI while proactively mitigating risks.Saudi Arabia aspires to be at the forefront of the AI revolution, aimingto position itself as a flourishing superpower with a clear visiondedicated to AI and GenAI.This focus was on display at LEAP 2024, where Saudi Arabia showcased its latest digital initiatives,discussed AI’s transformative potential in various sectors, and highlighted ethical considerations. Theevent which drew over 170,000 attendees and which announced agreements totaling over $12 billionmarked a milestone, introducing a new era of service excellence propelled by the most advanced AItechnologies and solutions across key sectors in Saudi Arabia.Major highlights included Zoom’s commitment to introduce its AI Companion3in Saudi Arabia,Aramco Digital’s partnership to establish the world’s largest AI computer center, and collaborationswith industry leaders like IBM and Intel to advance AI expertise4. The Saudi Data & AI Authority(SDAIA) also spearheaded several partnerships and agreements focused on AI research, digitaltechnology localization, and educational initiatives. Furthermore, strategic agreements with KingAbdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) aimed to strengthen Saudi Arabia’s leadership inAI and semiconductor industries5.GenAI technologies are set to impact various industries in Saudi Arabia, including healthcare,education, energy, agriculture, government services, and finance, as part of Vision 20306. Inhealthcare, GenAI will enhance diagnostics and personalized medicine. The education sectorwill benefit from personalized learning and virtual classrooms. In energy, GenAI will optimize theproduction and distribution of renewable energy. Agriculture will use GenAI for environmentalmonitoring and predictive analytics to increase yields. Government services and smart city projectslike NEOM will leverage GenAI for enhanced efficiency and citizen experiences. In finance, GenAI willenhance fraud detection, risk management, and customer service.With the inevitable integration of GenAI into the socio-economic landscape, Saudi Arabia stands attransformative crossroads. This report focuses on the current state of GenAI in Saudi Arabia, thepotential impact, and the guiding direction for strategically positioning Saudi Arabia so it can fully tapinto GenAI growth, while addressing potential pitfalls and risks. 2 6Saudi Arabia’sTransformationPlanPioneering the NextFrontier with GenAIImage created with Midjourney 7Setting Up the GenAI LandscapeA comprehensive array of components is required to effectively develop, deploy, and utilize GenAIwithin a nation. These components can be understood through the lens of three building blocks, asillustrated in Exhibit 2.First, the foundational elements cover enabling initiatives aimed at accelerating the adoption andimplementation of GenAI.
