The Gulf states are betting big on AI: who’s investing where?

Gulf sovereign wealth funds, including Saudi Arabia's PIF and Abu Dhabi's Mubadala, are investing heavily in AI ventures like SpaceX, HUMAIN, OpenAI, and Anthropic, aiming to diversify their economies and achieve significant GDP contributions through AI by 2031. These investments follow past criticisms of speculative tech bets but now promise substantial returns as SpaceX and AI firms prepare for high-profile listings.
