Growth strategies in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, such as the UAE National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence 2031 and other Gulf visions, are positioning AI at the heart of economic diversification initiatives. According to McKinsey estimates, the adoption rate of AI in GCC organizations is around 84%, and it is expected that AI will have an economic impact of $320 billion in the Middle East region by 2030.
