Why I Joined Scale: Building the Applications for Saudi Arabia's AI Future

Saudi Arabia is making unprecedented investments in artificial intelligence as a strategic part of its Vision 2030 initiative. A major challenge is converting ambitious AI pilots into production-ready applications that deliver real-world value, as most pilots currently fail. Scale AI aims to solve this by focusing on a data-first foundation, which allows for the creation of reliable, model-agnostic applications tailored to specific needs like local language nuances. This approach is positioned as the key to building a national capability for deploying AI and achieving true AI sovereignty for the Kingdom.
