Saudi Arabia’s giga-projects — from NEOM to The Red Sea Project, Qiddiya, and beyond — stand as global symbols of ambition, innovation, and transformation. At the heart of their execution lies a powerful enabler: Artificial Intelligence (AI).

AI technologies are not merely supporting these projects; they are redefining the way they are planned, managed, and delivered. For example, NEOM has embraced AI-driven urban planning models, using predictive analytics to design sustainable cities powered by renewable energy. Construction timelines are optimized using AI-based scheduling tools, minimizing delays and reducing costs.

In the Red Sea Project, AI supports environmental monitoring. Satellite imagery combined with machine learning helps preserve coral reefs and biodiversity while ensuring eco-tourism growth aligns with sustainability goals. Meanwhile, in smart entertainment hubs like Qiddiya, AI personalizes visitor experiences — from ticketing to hospitality — enhancing satisfaction and operational efficiency.

As Vision 2030 advances, AI’s role will grow even more centra, here are the key highlights:

Smart infrastructure management through IoT and AI integration.

Predictive maintenance of transportation, utilities, and energy systems.

AI-driven workforce planning to build local capacity while reducing reliance on external talent.

Saudi Arabia’s giga-projects are not only physical monuments but also digital revolutions — where AI is the unseen architect ensuring efficiency, sustainability, and global competitiveness.
