As AI adoption accelerates across the Middle East, organizations are no longer evaluating AI solely on its capabilities.
A recent regional survey reveals that 60% of organizations in the Middle East and Africa now consider data sovereignty a top priority when adopting AI; a higher percentage than the global average.
This marks a significant shift in how businesses approach AI.
The conversation is no longer just about what AI can do.
It is about where data resides, who controls it, how it is governed, and under which jurisdiction it operates.
Data sovereignty has become a strategic business consideration, influencing risk management, regulatory compliance, customer trust, and long-term competitiveness.
For business leaders, one message is becoming increasingly clear: A successful AI strategy begins with a trusted data strategy.
