Businesses want to adopt AI\u2026 but many don\u2019t know where to start.<\/p>\n
Between major investments in infrastructure and the need for applications that deliver real business value, important questions emerge: How do companies choose their starting point? And how can small and medium-sized businesses access the technology they need to adopt AI?<\/p>\n
In this interview with MENA TECH, Ata Hallak, Sales Lead for Saudi Arabia at AMD, discusses the needs of the Saudi market and the growing demand for AI solutions across sectors including fintech, hospitality, and healthcare.<\/p>\n
Hallak also discusses AMD\u2019s collaboration with HUMAIN on AI in a Box, a solution using AMD Instinct products designed to support businesses beginning their AI journey with the technology and guidance they need to take their first steps.<\/p>\n
The conversation explores Saudi Arabia\u2019s importance to AMD\u2019s strategy in the Middle East, and how the company\u2019s Riyadh office helps strengthen relationships with customers and partners while supporting the local ecosystem in line with Saudi Vision 2030.<\/p>\n
We also discuss the race to develop data centers across the Gulf, the growing need for GPUs and CPUs, and how these investments can serve regional and global demand for AI. Hallak reflects on AMD\u2019s first standalone participation at LEAP and what it signals about the company\u2019s commitment to the market and its growth opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
