Saudi Arabia is actively integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into its mining sector to drive innovation and economic growth. Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources, Bandar Alkhorayef, highlighted this initiative during the Human Capability Initiative 2025 in Riyadh. The Kingdom aims to increase the mining industry’s contribution to the GDP from $17 billion to $75 billion by 2035, positioning mining as the third pillar of its industrial economy.
Alkhorayef emphasized the role of AI in enhancing mine safety, productivity, and energy efficiency. He noted that Saudi Arabia is investing in infrastructure, including data centers, to support AI development. The Future Factories Program incentivizes the adoption of advanced technologies like robotics and AI in industry. Additionally, the Human Capital Development Program focuses on cultivating talent to meet the evolving needs of the industrial and mining sectors. These efforts align with the broader Vision 2030 strategy to diversify the economy and reduce reliance on oil revenues.
