Abstract
Saudi Arabia is diversifying its economy by becoming a global technological hub. Driven by its Vision 2030 initiative, it has embarked on the most ambitious and far-reaching transformation plan in the kingdom's history. At the core of this transformation are the investment and development of artificial intelligence (AI) and its integration into a new mega-city Neom. Currently under construction, Neom is seeking to integrate robotics and AI seamlessly into every aspect of citizens lives in a bid to generate revenues from key economic sectors for the future. This transition from an economy base on hydrocarbons to AI is, however, more than economic. It is a bid to secure the survival of the House of Saud and meet the growing challenges of constructing a state around oil. Nevertheless, what happens in Neom may provide insights into how AI will impact the world beyond a cross-road built on sand.
