Machine Learning (ML) is a rapidly trending field globally and notably in Saudi Arabia. It is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science that focuses on developing statistical algorithms, enabling AI systems to learn from data and improve over time without explicit programming. These algorithms can identify patterns in large datasets, make predictions, and perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as categorizing images, analyzing data, or predicting market fluctuations. In Saudi Arabia, ML is a dominant AI technology, projected to hold 36% of the AI market share in 2024. The country is heavily investing in AI and ML as part of its Vision 2030 initiative, with significant government and private sector collaboration to drive digitalization across various sectors like healthcare, education, telecom, and BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance).
