Qatar Is Quietly Becoming The Middle East's AI Superpower

While Saudi Arabia and the UAE pursue flashy, large-scale AI projects, Qatar is taking a more strategic approach by investing in foundational AI infrastructure and confidential computing. A $20 billion partnership between Qatar Investment Authority and Brookfield focuses on data centers and compute capacity, while Qatar hosts the Gulf's first confidential AI computing facility. This patient, infrastructure-focused strategy positions Qatar to become the region's AI leader by prioritizing trust, compliance, and data security over headline-grabbing announcements.
