Reimagining the future of sports with generative AI
Just a few years ago, artificial intelligence in sports felt like a distant dream. Today, it's transforming every aspect of the industry, from fan experiences to team performance. In Saudi Arabia alone, the sports market has grown from $6.4 billion in 2022 to $7.2 billion in 2023, with projections reaching over $22.4 billion by 2030. This rapid growth is reshaping how we play, watch, and understand sports. It's no wonder AI is fueling innovation across the industry. The Saudi Formula One Grand Prix is a celebration of speed, engineering excellence, and as a powerful showcase of how technology and sport are converging. From the roar of the engines on the Jeddah Corniche Circuit to the cutting-edge AI tools running behind the scenes, the event revealed how AI's role in motorsports extends well beyond race day. It reflects a broader, long-term shift in the industry, delivering more personalized content, powering predictive insights, and enhancing performance. Our multi-year partnership with Scuderia Ferrari HP highlights the pivotal role IBM is playing in this transformation and underscores how technology and professional sports have become inseparable. As part of this partnership, IBM launched a fully redesigned Scuderia Ferrari HP mobile app, featuring an all-new Race Center and Racing Insights built with IBM watsonx. The app delivers a more immersive and personalized fan experience with interactive features such as fan messages, interactive live polls, and race summaries that highlight some of Ferrari's most iconic wins across the decades. For the first time, the app is now fully accessible to Ferrari's global Tifosi in both English and Italian. This is more than just a technological upgrade; it's a bold reimagining of the digital fan experience. Through AI-generated race summaries, post-race insights, dynamic data visualizations, and historical driver and team comparisons powered by large language models on watsonx, including IBM Granite, the app deepens the connection between Tifosi, F1 fans, and the world's most renowned F1 racing team both during and outside race weekends. Additional features will be rolled out throughout the year 2025 onward. By applying IBM's deep AI and consulting expertise, we're helping clients like Ferrari, and enterprises across sectors, deliver smarter, more engaging experiences on a scale. The future of sports isn't just about speed or intelligence, it's about creating more connected, inclusive, and impactful experiences. Ayman Al-Rashed IBM has long equipped sports organizations with AI-powered tools to elevate performance and deepen fan engagement.

How the public and private sector are navigating AI integration in the modern workplace
RIYADH: As artificial intelligence transforms the modern workplace, public and private sector organizations in Saudi Arabia are leaning into its potential to revolutionize how they operate. From automating workflows to training digital employees, AI has moved from buzzword to backbone in national efforts to modernize systems and boost efficiency. But with rapid innovation comes a familiar hurdle — adapting without breaking what already works. 'Every country has old systems that are doing important work. They can't get rid of them, they need to continue, so they need to find a way to have a single pane of glass that connects them,' Casey Coleman, vice president of Global Public Sector at ServiceNow, told Arab News. That challenge is particularly acute in government institutions, where outdated IT systems often clash with modern digital tools. Legacy infrastructure, varying data formats, and bureaucratic complexity can make large-scale upgrades difficult. Still, Saudi Arabia is making notable progress. ServiceNow — which has operated in the Kingdom since 2011 — has helped modernize operations in the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development. More than 180 automated processes now support the Ministry of Justice, while an integrated portal for public-sector employees has streamlined communication and speeded up problem-solving. The gains are real. But Coleman notes that transformation requires more than just new code. 'It's hard to change the way that work gets done because it becomes kind of just your muscle memory,' she said. 'To change that is like an athlete learning to change their golf swing or learning to change their basketball shot.' The key, she says, is empathy. 'It calls for empathizing with people and understanding their work from their perspective. It takes a human approach. It's not just about the systems.' Instead of replacing legacy systems outright, ServiceNow offers a way to integrate them, preserving existing structures while cutting down inefficiencies. One major pain point is what Coleman calls 'sneaker net' — employees manually switching between platforms and reentering information. Some 40 percent of productivity is lost due to these inefficiencies, she says — and likely more in the public sector. 'People who join government are there to make a difference. They're not there to serve data between one system to another,' Coleman said. 'They're there to help people, and by taking away the toil of the administrative work that is just a drain on our productivity, we can liberate their time to do the public-facing work.' That liberation is also playing out on the industrial front. In one of ServiceNow's largest partnerships, the firm is working with Saudi Aramco to modernize its operations safely using 'digital twins' — virtual models of physical systems. The approach allows engineers to simulate changes at oil refining plants before implementation. 'ServiceNow has taken some part of the value chain in helping those companies to make safe changes to their systems and safe upgrades and modernization,' said Coleman. This year, the company opened its first regional headquarters in Saudi Arabia, cementing its long-term commitment to a market it views as digitally mature and globally influential. 'Saudi Arabia has a very clear strategy, and that's important,' Saif Mashat, area vice president for ServiceNow in the Middle East and Africa, told Arab News. 'Saudi Arabia is part of the G20, one of the biggest economies in the region, one of the biggest economies in the world. Saudi Arabia is a very influential country globally, and is very, very advanced when it comes to the digital era.' Private tech leaders are also seeing an acceleration in AI adoption across the Kingdom. According to IBM's regional vice president Ayman Al-Rashed, more than 70 percent of CEOs in Saudi Arabia have already created entirely new AI-based roles — a higher figure than the global average. 'These are jobs that didn't exist last year. These are new jobs,' he said. 'This shows you that there's a lot of interest in KSA, more than elsewhere around the globe, because the global average is between 50 and 60 percent.' Al-Rashed explained that IBM has automated 95 percent of its internal HR functions, slashing costs by 40 percent — savings equivalent to $3.5 billion in productivity gains. That same tech, he said, is now being offered to clients. 'We came up with something we called the 'watsonx Orchestrate,'' said Al-Rashed. 'That's a lot of agents, assistants, and tools. There are actually more than 80 enterprise applications out there, and they're all out of the box. You can immediately go and use them and have the same experience.' One standout example is 'AskHR,' a virtual assistant that helps IBM staff navigate complex tasks like creating job requisitions or scheduling interviews. 'I used AskHR when I joined IBM. It was great. I always felt that someone was talking to me, but it was just AI,' said Al-Rashed. These shifts align closely with the Kingdom's Vision 2030 plan, which prioritizes digital transformation and workforce upskilling as key pillars of national development. 'What we've done is we've looked at our operations in HR, and we wanted to do things such as enhance the efficiency of it, reduce the cost of it, free up the time of the employees themselves,' said Al-Rashed. The message is clear: As Saudi Arabia races toward its digital future, the integration of AI is not just a competitive advantage — it is a national imperative. For now, success lies not just in smart software, but in making technology work with, not against, the systems already in place.

Saudis to get more leadership roles as PepsiCo expands, says regional CEO
DHAHRAN: Food manufacturer PepsiCo will offer more leadership roles to Saudis, its regional CEO pledged at the inauguration of the SR300 million ($79.97 million) expansion of its Dammam facility. Speaking to Arab News, Ahmed El-Sheikh explained how the company supports the Kingdom's Vision 2030 economic diversification plan through three main areas — using local resources, Saudization, and increasing exports. The announcement came during a visit to the site by Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources Bandar Alkhorayef, who praised the facility's contribution to job creation, export growth, and the overall development of the food manufacturing sector in Saudi Arabia. The site serves as a key hub in the region, which supplies local markets and exports products to 20 countries across the Middle East. The PepsiCo MENAP CEO said: 'We're proud to say that 85 percent of our workforce at the Dammam plant are Saudi nationals, one of the highest rates across any of our facilities in the region. With 280 employees currently, this is just the beginning. We plan to grow even further.' He added: "As we move toward greater digitization and automation, we're also opening up more opportunities for Saudis to step into technical and leadership roles.' Recent regulatory changes, which have been made possible through collaboration with the Kingdom's Ministry of Environment and Agriculture, now permit PepsiCo to utilize locally grown potatoes for export. This development has been described by Alkhorayef as a 'significant milestone' for both local farming and policy reform. 'It demonstrates how we've been able to work with PepsiCo over the last few years to ensure the entire supply chain, from farming to production and export, is well managed,' the minister told Arab News. 'As a result of our success working as a team, we were able to amend the policy so that PepsiCo can now use Saudi grown potatoes for export,' he added. Bandar Alkhorayef cutting the ribbon on the Dammam facility. Sustainability and resource efficiency were focal points during the visit, and Alkhorayef noted that the Kingdom now holds 'a record in terms of water efficiency in potato cultivation,' a development he called inspiring, not only locally, but globally. The Dammam plant sources 100 percent of its potatoes from Saudi farms, and uses local materials for secondary packaging, with 70 percent of primary packaging now locally sourced, a percentage PepsiCo aims to push to full localization. PepsiCo operates in the Kingdom across 86 locations and employs nearly 9,000 people through direct and partner operations. The company has opened a new regional headquarters in Riyadh's King Abdullah Financial District, which will oversee operations across the Middle East, North Africa, and Pakistan, aligning with Saudi Arabia's Regional Headquarters Program. Further investment is also planned, and El-Sheikh said: 'In addition to the SR300 million we've just invested in the Dammam plant, we're preparing to open a state-of-the-art R&D facility in Riyadh in just two months' time.' The center will cost SR30 million and serve as a hub for product and packaging innovations in the Gulf Cooperation Council region, according to a statement from PepsiCo released in April. When it comes to employment, Alkhorayef stressed that Saudization is driven by data and standards. 'This plant is a great example. It has around 85 percent Saudization, and female participation is about 22–23 percent, with more than 25 percent women in the plant workforce itself. That's a significant achievement.' He added that the government takes a comprehensive approach to measuring local content, and went on to say: 'But measurement is not the goal, it's a baseline. The real goal is to use it as a foundation to increase both local sourcing and hiring.' The Dammam plant is one of PepsiCo's most advanced in the region, and features energy efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, solar panels generating 510 megawatt-hour yearly, and uses recycled water in its processing systems. These investments align with the sustainability goals in the Kingdom's National Industrial Strategy.
