AI in Arabia

About AI in Arabia

The Arab world's independent home for AI news, analysis, and practical guides — written for the region, by people who understand it.

Our mission

AI is reshaping every industry, government, and community — and Arabia is at the centre of this transformation. From Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 AI ambitions to the UAE's national AI strategy, from Cairo's thriving startup ecosystem to Beirut's research universities, the Arab world is not a passive observer of the AI revolution. It is a key protagonist.

Yet the English-language AI press largely ignores this. Most major outlets cover Silicon Valley, London, and Beijing. Coverage of the Arab world tends toward surface-level summaries or investment announcements, missing the depth of what is actually happening on the ground.

AI in Arabia exists to fill that gap: rigorous, independent, deeply regional journalism and analysis about artificial intelligence in the Arab world.
