Saudi Company for Artificial Intelligence

The Saudi Company for Artificial Intelligence (SCAI) is a state-owned technology company established under Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF). It was announced in January 2022 and is dedicated to artificial intelligence and modern technologies. SCAI operates as a commercial vehicle for developing and deploying AI solutions in the Kingdom, with an initial focus on priority sectors such as energy and healthcare, as well as smart-city services and solutions. SCAI's mandate is closely tied to Saudi Vision 2030, the national transformation programme that seeks to diversify the economy and build domestic technological capability. As a PIF company, SCAI benefits from sovereign backing and is positioned to partner with government entities, state-owned enterprises and private-sector players. Its work spans AI platforms, data-driven services and smart technology deployments, with energy and healthcare identified as early target industries. SCAI is part of a broader Saudi technology ecosystem that includes the Saudi Company for Cloud Computing (SCCC) and other PIF-backed digital ventures. The company's Arabic-language brand name is often shortened to "SCAI" (سكاي). Its official website is scai.sa. Because it is wholly owned by the Public Investment Fund, SCAI is not listed on a public stock exchange and operates as a state-owned subsidiary rather than an independent public company. As a relatively young company, SCAI's public profile centres on its founding announcement, its sector priorities and its role in national AI ambitions. It represents Saudi Arabia's push to localise advanced technologies, attract talent and build sovereign AI capacity in line with the goals of Vision 2030.
