NVIDIA plans to enhance the computing ecosystem by training thousands of developers in accelerated computing and AI. The Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA) will collaborate with NVIDIA to deploy up to 5,000 Blackwell GPUs, supporting smart city solutions and training scientists and engineers in AI model development. Supporting Vision 2030 These initiatives are integral to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which aims for economic diversification and digital leadership. H.E. Dr. Abdullah bin Sharaf Alghamdi, president of SDAIA, highlighted the partnership’s role in advancing the Kingdom’s data and AI capabilities, contributing to a knowledge-based society and digital economy.
