On December 8 (local time), the official portal of the Qatari government heralded the inception of Qai, a national artificial intelligence company. This move is geared towards crafting a sophisticated digital ecosystem, fostering innovation, championing sustainable growth, and spurring economic diversification in alignment with the '2030 National Vision'. As a division of the Qatar Investment Authority, Qai is set to embark on the development, operation, and global investment in AI infrastructure.
