David Sacks, now aiding President Donald Trump’s crypto and AI policies, praised Saudi entrepreneurs for being “on the cutting edge” of AI, per X posts by @MarioNawfal. He emphasised creating ecosystems where global partners build on US tech, like app stores thriving without contracts. Sacks criticised the Biden administration’s “diffusion rule” which limited AI chip exports, and celebrated Trump’s decision to scrap it, boosting global tech sharing. Meanwhile, Ruth Porat detailed Google’s massive investments in Saudi Arabia including new data centers and the advanced Gemini AI software supporting 16 Arabic dialects, as noted by @SaudiTechNews on X.

The forum, coinciding with Trump’s visit to Riyadh, highlighted Saudi’s $940 billion @PublicInvestmentFund (PIF) and its new AI venture, Humain, launched by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Saudi’s 33 existing data centers and 42 more in development, adding 2.2 gigawatts of capacity, position it as a global AI hub, per the Middle East Institute.
