Data gap limits AI progress in Saudi facilities

The article highlights that artificial intelligence technology is advancing rapidly and taking on a realistic form within Saudi organizations, ranging from robots and home applications to autonomous vehicles. However, the real challenge lies not in the availability of technologies but in the readiness of data and internal infrastructure to operate them effectively. The AI Maturity Index 2026 revealed that 67% of Saudi companies still face difficulties in creating a suitable environment capable of supporting productive AI applications, despite a 124% increase in spending. It is also projected that AI will constitute 20% of IT budgets by 2027. The report shows that most companies still rely on outdated systems and lack reliable data management, which limits the effectiveness of AI, especially in automation and fully autonomous operations. Success requires investing in system updates, improving governance, and training personnel. The most mature organizations are achieving high returns, reaching up to 161% on their investments, with expectations for those figures to grow. Ultimately, transforming work methods and deriving real value from AI depends on an organization’s ability to prepare their internal environment in a manner compatible with advanced technologies—in other words, it's not just about purchasing solutions but about creating the right foundational setup.
