WideBot AI, a leading innovator in AI solutions, products, and models, has announced a groundbreaking achievement in the Arab world. The company is now hosting its advanced GenAI model “AQL” on local cloud servers in Saudi Arabia.
This is a significant first in the field of artificial intelligence in Saudi Arabia. It marks the inaugural occasion on which an AI model is hosted on local cloud servers, paving the way for new opportunities in AI applications across various sectors.
“AQL” Supports Saudi Vision 2030
This initiative aligns with WideBot AI’s commitment to supporting Saudi Vision 2030, spearheaded by Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia. The vision aims to diversify the economy and build an advanced digital society.
Furthermore, WideBot AI remains dedicated to complying with government regulations, including those established by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA). The company’s top priority is ensuring its AI innovations adhere to national data governance and security standards.
Artificial intelligence technologies are pivotal in achieving Vision 2030 by driving digital transformation, enhancing operational efficiency, developing new services, and creating innovative job opportunities.
A Historic Leap for AI in Saudi Arabia
“We are immensely proud to announce this historic milestone of hosting our AI model, AQL, on local cloud servers in Saudi Arabia,” said Mohamed Nabil, CEO and Co-Founder of WideBot AI. “This is a turning point for AI in the Kingdom, demonstrating our commitment to the ambitious Vision 2030.”
He explained, “Hosting ‘AQL’ locally has many benefits for our clients and partners in the public and private sectors. Sectors that deal with sensitive data and files—which cannot be stored or processed on servers outside Saudi Arabia, such as ministries, banks, and medical institutions—will be able to benefit from the ‘AQL’ model of artificial intelligence without fear or concern, thanks to its compliance with government regulations and its full compatibility with SDAIA.”
Nabil reaffirmed WideBot AI’s belief that AI is the key to the future and the company’s dedication to delivering innovative solutions that improve lives and empower communities across the Arab world.
He added, “We will continue investing in AI technology, expanding our services, and adapting to evolving market needs.”
Compliance, Latency, and Data Security
Hosting “AQL” locally is particularly significant for Saudi government entities and enterprises. It bolsters data security by ensuring that sensitive information is stored and processed within Saudi Arabia, providing top-tier protection. This approach aligns with local regulations and SDAIA’s guidelines for AI usage across sectors.
Furthermore, it reduces data access latency, enhances system stability by leveraging Saudi Arabia’s robust telecommunications infrastructure, and promotes investment in AI models that understand and respect Arab identity, culture, and privacy.
Governments and public and private sector companies within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia can benefit from the AQL APIs, which seamlessly integrate with their existing systems and applications to enhance performance and improve operational efficiency.
