About the Center of Excellence

The Center of Excellence for Generative AI (GenAI) is dedicated to placing Saudi Arabia at the forefront of AI research in the region and globally. Since its widespread rollout, GenAI has taken the world by storm through ease of access to various emerging applications such as Large Language Models (LLMs). GenAI is already on its way to transforming every aspect of our lives, and its adoption will be central to the future development of the Kingdom. To achieve this GenAI-powered future, the Center of Excellence for Generative AI has three primary objectives:

• To establish world-leading excellence in GenAI research by innovating the next generation of GenAI models endowed with properties needed for ubiquitous, efficient and trustworthy deployment.
• To specialize these models to enable solutions in all four of the Kingdom’s research, development and innovation pillars: Health and Wellness, Sustainability and Essential Needs, Energy and Industrial Leadership, and Economies of the Future.
• To deliver on the Kingdom’s ambitions to accelerate the adoption of GenAI by prioritizing translational research and talent development, accelerated by Center partners.

The Center will be the cornerstone for a vibrant GenAI ecosystem in the Kingdom that will sustain a flexible and effective model for onboarding partners and collaborators while meeting the aspirations of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 through its research, development and innovation pillars.
