The Saudi Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, in collaboration with Google Cloud, launched on Wednesday a specialized training program in machine language analysis and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The initiative aims to develop Saudi cadres and enhance sectors with digital technologies.

Participants in the ten-week program will receive four weeks of initial training at Google's headquarters in Silicon Valley, providing them with the opportunity to learn from Google experts.

The subsequent six weeks consist of remote training sessions culminating in Google certifications.

The program strengthens the strategic partnership with Google Cloud, boosting their services in Saudi Arabia for secure cloud infrastructure and promoting business growth.

China's President Xi Jinping urged Shanghai to accelerate efforts to turn itself into a technological and innovation hub with global influence as he made his first visit to the city since November 2023, state news agency Xinhua reported.

Xi said that Shanghai, China's main international financial hub, should strive to be at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI) development and governance, the report added.

The Shanghai visit comes at a time when the trade war with the United States has raised the stakes for global economic growth, and as China pushes forward with AI development in the wake of DeepSeek.

Xi urged the city to expand its exploration of AI models and said more supportive policies for the technology should be rolled out, as he visited an incubation lab for AI startups and tried on a set of smart glasses, the report said.

The Chinese president also visited the Shanghai-based New Development Bank, a multilateral bank of BRICS member nations, and met its president, former Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, Xinhua said.
