The recent World Smart Cities Forum was heralded not merely as a confluence of experts but as a beacon of aspiration for the creation of urban environments that are sustainable, inclusive, and intelligent. This perspective was shared by the National Information Center’s director at the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority, Dr. Esam bin Abdullah Al-Wagait, who commended the participants’ commitment, foresight, and avant-garde ambitions. These traits, he suggested, are the bedrock on which the metropolises of the future will stand.
