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.
