    How the Middle East is Building, Buying & Bottlenecking the Future of AI

    In this episode of Byte the Bullet, we dive deep into the sovereign AI strategies transforming the Middle East. We unpack how the UAE (through G42 and Stargate) and Saudi Arabia (via HUMAIN) are investing billions to build massive compute hubs, navigate shifting geopolitics, and secure their digital futures.
