Saudi data centers are evolving into AI factories, NVIDIA says
- Marc Domenech of NVIDIA said traditional data centers are evolving into "AI factories" designed to generate intelligence at scale.
- Saudi Arabia has accelerated investments in AI and digital infrastructure under Vision 2030; the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology says data‑center investments have exceeded SR16 billion ($4.26 billion) since 2016.
- NVIDIA has expanded its presence in the Kingdom and in 2025 announced partnerships with Saudi Arabia to advance AI, cloud and enterprise computing, digital twins and robotics.
- Domenech said AI factories require a full‑stack computing architecture—accelerated computing, networking, storage and software—to move AI from experimentation into production.
