Jaeden Schafer: 我观察到沙特阿拉伯正在积极发展人工智能技术，旨在摆脱对石油收入的过度依赖。近年来，他们加大了对人工智能的投资力度，力图成为该领域的中心。沙特王储亲自成立新公司来管理人工智能技术，这表明了他们对这一领域的重视和决心。虽然在美国，国家领导人在任期内直接成立公司的情况并不常见，但在沙特阿拉伯，这反映了国家对经济多元化和技术发展的战略部署。这家新公司不仅仅是一个软件项目，更侧重于构建包括数据中心在内的人工智能基础设施，这与Sam Altman在美国的Stargate计划有相似之处。沙特阿拉伯的王室制度使得王储能够有效地调动国家资源来支持这一战略转型。此外，沙特阿拉伯公共投资基金（PIF）不仅投资本国企业，也吸引了包括谷歌和Salesforce在内的美国科技巨头参与合作，共同推动人工智能相关项目的发展。总而言之，沙特阿拉伯正在认真地将资金投入到人工智能的未来发展中，并为此制定了大胆的计划。
