The Kingdom’s leaders have been closely working with private and public sector entities to meet their ambitious goals and objectives, fulfil the Vision 2030 strategy, and execute multiple giga projects. Moreover, many leading organizations in Saudi Arabia are already exploring and investing in generative AI (GenAI) use cases. IDC believes that these organizations need to be ready for an "AI Everywhere" world in the future. IDC forecasts that annual spending on AI-centric systems worldwide will surpass $300 billion by 2026, while ICT spending in Saudi Arabia will exceed $36.6 billion by 2024. In the era of GenAI-driven disruption, technology leaders are reassessing AI's pivotal role in the digitalization landscape. Given AI’s transformative power to significantly enhance digital innovation, customer experience, operational efficiency, and sustainability, forward-thinking governments and digitally-driven organizations are adopting an ‘AI everywhere’ mindset and making AI a tech agenda priority to maintain competitive parity with early adopters.

🌐 🌐 🌐 IDC CIO Summit Middle East 2024, Dubai I was so delighted to attend this event last week. The following reports the participation in this conference and summarizes the mainly addressed topics. ■ Under the theme of (The Future of IT: Rethinking Digitalization for an AI Everywhere World), the event brought together a group of CIO's, IT and business leaders. ■ The event highlights how technology executives are reevaluating how they view artificial intelligence's critical role in the digitalization process in the GenAI-driven disruptive age. Forward-thinking governments and digitally driven organizations are adopting a "AI Everywhere" mindset as a result of AI's transformative power to significantly improve digital innovation, customer experiences, operational efficiencies, and sustainability. This makes AI a top priority on the tech agenda in order to stay competitive with early adopters. ■ As result, CIO's, IT and business leaders must focus on preparing their companies for the "AI Everywhere" future. Focusing on essential enabling components including developing a data-centric platform, switching to cloud infrastructure, controlling cloud economics, redefining security and digital trust, and making skill investments will be necessary to achieve this. ■ The speakers addressed a number of related and trending topics that includes:  ○ Cyber Resilience, navigating Generative AI Impacts on Security Trends.  ○ Charting the future, the revolutionizing potential of AI.  ○ Elevating business cloud, beyond optimization to GEN-AI and sustainability.  ○ Developing competitive advantage through enterprise intelligence.  ○ Innovation at scale, harnessing the power of low-code platforms for enterprise growth in the era of AI.  ○ Achieving Competitive Advantage with connected digital ops.
