Saudi jobs and AI skills
The article focuses on the impact of artificial intelligence on the labor market in Saudi Arabia. It anticipates that digital technologies and the non-oil economy will create new jobs to compensate for those affected by automation. Projections indicate that around 90 million jobs worldwide may decline in the coming years, while approximately 170 million new jobs will emerge, with increased demand for technical and creative skills. Both local and international experiences confirm that AI will more likely transform the nature of jobs rather than eliminate them, emphasizing the shift away from routine tasks toward roles requiring analysis, supervision, and technical leadership—especially in sectors such as sustainable energy, data, cybersecurity, and digital services. The importance of developing digital skills, ongoing training, and improving English language proficiency is highlighted to ensure workers can transition from traditional tasks to new tech-based roles. Human capital and investment in skills are key factors in maximizing the benefits of digital transformation and AI technologies within Saudi Arabia’s economy.
