"Scale AI", backed by "Amazon", expands in the region by Saudi Arabia

Scale AI, the beginning -Up enterprise supported by Amazon, which specializes in the help of businesses to develop artificial intelligence products, intends to open an office in Saudi Arabia by the end of the year, as part of a broader regional distribution. San Francisco, a spokesman for ‘Peel Ai’, confirmed the plans to open an office in Riyadh, and indicated that the company would open another office in the Emirates, but he kept him from announcing the schedule for it. “Unlike the United States and China, I see this fastest growing region in accepting artificial intelligence,” said Trevor Thompson, the global delegate of “Peel Ai”, in an interview. The region increases the investment in artificial intelligence. The company’s expansion in the Middle East coincides with oil -rich wave states that want to diversify their economies because it pumps billions of dollars in startups, data centers and computer sources. As part of these efforts, Saudi Arabia and the increasingly neighboring countries call technology companies to open and employ sites in the region. For example, Celes Force recently began employment procedures in a $ 500 million investment in the kingdom. The ‘Skill AI’ was founded in 2016, and it relies on a large number of contractors to purify and classify large amounts of data used to develop conversational robots based on artificial intelligence and other products. Openai and Microsoft are one of its clients. The company’s evaluation last year amounted to $ 13.8 billion after a financing round to raise one billion dollars, in which ‘Amazon’, ‘Meta platforms’ participated and other companies were funded. Other transactions for the company in the region The revenue of the company amounted to $ 870 million in 2024, and there are discussions on a purchase offer that will increase its evaluation almost twice, according to what “Bloomberg” was unveiled in April. In February, Peel AI entered into a five -year agreement with Qatar to develop government services, and in the next month, the emerging company partnered with ‘Inception’, the research unit of the Technology Group ‘G42’ (G42) owned by the Abu Dhabi government. US President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Saudi Arabia this week, and its management intends to cancel export restrictions that will limit the sale of advanced artificial intelligence chips to Saudi Arabia and other wavelads. Former Peel AI director Michael Kratsius is a senior Trump adviser for technology matters.
