AI is the future, and if we don't lead, others will. Saudi's push is welcome, but we need Islamic ethics integrated into AI development from day one.

Importing solutions isn't bad if it builds capacity fast. But yeah, homegrown talent must be the goal. Let's see if these partnerships include knowledge transfer.

It's great to see Saudi investing so much in AI. Inshallah, it will create jobs for our youth and reduce reliance on oil. But we need to focus on education too, not just buying tech.
