Your Royal Highnesses, Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to announce Aramco’s latest venture, the Saudi Accelerated Innovation Lab, SAIL.

This is an exciting new venture which will bring together experts from around the world, to work on, really, the cutting-edge technologies in digital.

The idea is to bring our partners together to collaborate and innovate with experts from the Kingdom, and from everywhere where talent is

partnering to develop new products and new ventures, as well as intellectual property, which will contribute to the prosperity of the Kingdom and the region.

Now, I'd like to have the second announcement. I'm really proud and I'm really excited to announce aramcoMETABRAIN.

aramcoMETABRAIN really brings together large language models to the Kingdom, to work on our most important industry today, which is energy.

And we've been bringing together the computing and the data. This data gives us an edge in understanding and solving the big challenges we face as a company.

This will serve as a foundation engine for cognitive applications, which will be developed in many many areas of our industry; an application that will take our energy industry to the next level.
