Adopt AI Grand Palais

AI is driving generational opportunity across every industry, society, and every economy. At Aramco, our digital strategy is built on three pillars: infrastructure, data, and talent.

We operate some of the Middle East region’s most powerful supercomputers, including Dammam 7 and a number of NVIDIA Superpods, which help us create, train, and run our AI models.

We have access to over 90 years of proprietary data, and every day, billions of new data points are generated to add to that.

This has fueled the creation of the world’s first, or the energy industry’s first, industrial large language model, which we use in our day-to-day business.

Talent is mission-critical. We also train all of our employees across our company, fro the executives to the frontline workers, to use AI-based solutions and to understand the potential of AI.

We’ve identified more than 400 use cases, which we are continuously working on, taking, and scaling across our operations.

And we believe we can accelerate efficiency, reliability, and safety throughout our value chain.

Together with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, we aim to strengthen our industrial AI leadership and Saudi Arabia a global AI hub, open, connected, and driven by the opportunity.

We have become a leader in industrial AI, while continuing to supply the reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy the world still needs.
