The Middle East is undergoing an unprecedented transformation in its approach to artificial intelligence. No longer just a supporting tool, AI has become a strategic partner in national transformation journeys.
From Abu Dhabi’s initiative to build the world’s first AI-powered government by 2027, to Saudi Arabia’s ambitious vision to integrate AI into its economy and society, the region is moving decisively toward a smarter future.
🔹 At the heart of this shift lies Agentic AI — the third wave of artificial intelligence. Unlike predictive AI or generative AI, Agentic AI goes further, enabling systems to make independent decisions and carry out multi-step tasks without direct human intervention.
This new generation opens the door to groundbreaking applications — from industrial automation and autonomous vehicles to advanced customer service chatbots.
đź“Š Yet, challenges remain. A recent report by Kyndryl shows that while 92% of executives are confident in their ability to adopt AI technologies, only 43% believe their systems are ready to face future risks. This highlights the urgent need for robust frameworks like the Agentic AI Framework to accelerate adoption and scalability.
đź’ˇ The Middle East is not just riding the third wave of AI — it is reshaping the global automation landscape, positioning Agentic AI as a driver of innovation, resilience, and competitiveness.
