April 10, 2025

Saudi Arabia has cemented its position as a rising powerhouse in artificial intelligence, securing the top global ranking for women’s empowerment in AI, according to Stanford University’s AI Index Report 2025. The Kingdom is also making waves in AI job growth, talent attraction, and cutting-edge model development—key indicators of its broader push to dominate the global AI landscape.

AI Talent And Job Growth: A Strategic Push

Saudi Arabia’s aggressive investment in AI is paying off. The Kingdom now ranks third worldwide in AI job growth for 2024 and fourth in developing leading AI models. It stands alongside the United States, China, France, Canada, and South Korea as one of only seven nations producing advanced AI models—an impressive feat for a country rapidly scaling its digital economy.

A Rising AI Hub: Attracting Global Talent

Ranked eighth globally in AI talent attraction, Saudi Arabia is becoming a magnet for top-tier professionals. Strategic initiatives, a robust research ecosystem, and a business-friendly regulatory framework make the Kingdom an increasingly attractive destination for AI experts seeking opportunities in a fast-growing market.

Women At The Forefront Of AI

Perhaps the most striking achievement is Saudi Arabia’s global leadership in empowering women in AI, with the highest female-to-male ratio in the sector. This milestone is the result of targeted national policies that foster inclusion, skills development, and leadership opportunities for women in technology. Programs like “Elevate,” a partnership with Google Cloud designed to train over 25,000 women in AI and tech, are shaping a new generation of female AI leaders. Additional initiatives, including specialized training camps and capacity-building programs, are reinforcing the Kingdom’s commitment to gender diversity in STEM fields.

Saudi Arabia’s AI Vision: Scaling To Global Leadership

At the heart of Saudi Arabia’s AI dominance is the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), which is spearheading national efforts to drive AI adoption. SDAIA’s strategy focuses on enhancing digital infrastructure, developing policy frameworks, and accelerating AI investment to position Saudi Arabia as a global leader in artificial intelligence. These moves align seamlessly with the ambitious goals of Vision 2030, which aims to transform the Kingdom into a knowledge-driven economy powered by innovation.

As Saudi Arabia continues its AI expansion, the message is clear: the Kingdom is not just participating in the AI revolution—it’s setting the pace.

Kagi Expands ‘Small Web’ To Mobile With 30,000 Curated Sites

March 18, 2026

Introducing A New Chapter In Web Discovery

Kagi has launched mobile applications for iOS and Android to expand its “Small Web” initiative, a curated collection of non-commercial, human-authored websites. The feature is designed to surface independent content that is often less visible in mainstream search results.

Reviving The Authenticity Of The Early Web

The “Small Web” includes personal blogs, webcomics and independent video content created by individual authors. The initiative focuses on content that is not driven by advertising models or large platforms, at a time when AI-generated material is becoming more widespread.

From Browser To Mobile: Expanding The Ecosystem

First introduced in 2023, the feature has been expanded to include mobile apps, browser extensions and category-based filtering. The collection now covers more than 30,000 curated websites across formats such as blogs, videos, code repositories and comics. Users can browse content through filters or access features including reading mode and bookmarking.

Emulating Discovery Platforms Of The Past

The design of the Small Web website harkens back to early discovery platforms such as StumbleUpon. With a simple interface that presents users with a randomly selected site and a quick navigation option to proceed to the next, the platform aims to unveil parts of the web that might have been overlooked in today’s decision-saturated digital environment.

Critical Perspectives And Community Feedback

Feedback from developer communities has been mixed. Discussions on Hacker News highlight concerns that limiting inclusion to sites with RSS feeds may exclude certain types of content. Some users also questioned whether all listed sites are fully human-authored. Kagi allows users to submit suggestions through its GitHub page, indicating an ongoing curation process.
