future of artificial intelligence in the Kingdom, the region, and the world.

On this occasion, SDAIA President, Dr. Abdullah Al-Ghamdi explained that the

knowledge exchange initiative was designed to achieve several benefits,

opportunities for future cooperation, and introducing them to the Kingdom's

efforts in pioneering the data and artificial intelligence and the future of

the sector during a journey that Saudi students will lead with their peers from

international universities.

He stressed that "SDAIA" aims through the initiative to build qualitative

partnerships that support its efforts in data and artificial intelligence and

help attract global capabilities that achieve qualitative addition to the

Kingdom, adding that the initiative contributes to activating the distinguished

role of Saudi youth and engaging them in a real dialogue that develops their

leadership spirit and shows their knowledge capabilities. Al-Ghamdi said that

this will enhance the Kingdom's position in data and artificial intelligence,
