Saudi AI Ambition + Saudi caught between America and China

‘To the Future’: Saudi Arabia Spends Big to Become an A.I. Superpower – The New York Times (nytimes.com)

This is a very interesting post. It is absolutely fascinating how the Middle East countries are confused, or perhaps super brilliant, in deciding whether to support America or China in the AI Wars.

To Be America’s Ally, or to be China’s Ally – That is the Question

Saudi Arabia’s solution for the moment seems to be – Why not both?

It’s a smart bet, as it is not clear at all whether America or China (or someone else, perhaps even a large tech company) will become the Winner in the AI Wars

We predict that the Saudis will start making bigger bets and start investing in specific technology companies and specific AI startups while still appeasing both America and China.
