On a Tuesday in March 2026, the Saudi Council of Ministers made the label official. Under the patronage of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman — who holds the dual role of Prime Minister and chairman of the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority — the Kingdom designated 2026 as the Year of Artificial Intelligence. A new visual identity was unveiled: a palm tree fused with the letters &ldquo;AI,&rdquo; rendered in green and blue, with Arabic typography inspired by electronic circuit patterns.</p>
