At Saudi Arabia's Leap 2025 event, the kingdom announced significant investments in AI technologies while discussing its transformative potential in society. Experts like Yaser Al-Onaizan highlighted the future of agentic AI, which functions on users' behalf, needing to grasp 'common sense' for effective decision-making. Lamia Youseff outlined AI's evolution from enterprise applications driven by big data to advanced forms like agentic and causal AI. Central to these discussions was the imperative of ensuring AI's development contributes positively to societal coherence and stability.
The promise of AI is that it will be in everything we do and touch every day. But it needs to be invisible... it should be listening to you, understanding you.
The challenge is for AI to work on humans' behalf and to get things right, to understand common sense, so that decisions made autonomously fit with what's practical.
AI has several phases and inflection points, with enterprise AI leading the way through big data, followed by agentic and causal AI that demand new technological advancements.
To ensure AI remains a force for good, there must be a focus on societal changes, balancing innovation with maintaining social coherence.
