18 AI Bootcamps to Run Across Saudi Arabi in August

The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) Academy will host 18 specialised data and artificial intelligence bootcamps across Saudi Arabia this August as part of its Future Summer initiative, aimed at developing national digital skills through hands-on technical training.

According to the academy, the programmes are designed for both specialists and aspiring professionals, combining technical instruction with practical application in support of the Year of Artificial Intelligence and the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 to build a globally competitive digital workforce.

The bootcamps cover a range of emerging technology disciplines, including generative programming, AI agent systems engineering, AI agent development, modern data engineering for AI applications, computer vision for developers, prompt engineering, responsible AI use and AI applications that enhance productivity and optimise business processes.

Additional programmes focus on data management, governance, quality and integration, equipping participants with practical skills to develop smart solutions, design AI applications and implement responsible data and AI practices in line with evolving industry needs.

SDAIA Academy said the initiative forms part of its broader efforts to invest in human capital and strengthen Saudi Arabia's capabilities in data and artificial intelligence through advanced, practice-oriented training. Those interested in participating can register through the AthkaX platform, the Kingdom's national data and AI capacity-building portal.
