Expansion of AI-Powered Chatbots in Government Services
Saudi Arabia is currently getting on board with AI chatbots in government services to enhance efficiency, accessibility, and citizen engagement. The Saudi government is giving high consideration to digital transformation under Vision 2030, which has led to a rapid uptake of AI in service delivery of public sector facilities. Multiple departments, including the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Interior, as well as municipal departments, are using chatbots to provide real-time assistance, automate other administrative tasks, and facilitate communication between citizens and government when needed. The bureaucracy has become a major driving force behind this trend. With the help of AI chatbots, citizens are able to engage in services such as visa application, appointment scheduling, tax inquiry, and emergency assistance without engaging human beings. In addition, Arabic-language processing greatly improves the efficiency of the application, ensuring a user-friendly interface for Saudi citizens and expatriates. For instance, in February 2025, Saudi Arabia’s leading digital enabler stc Group's AI arm, stc.AI, announced the launch of a sovereign cloud platform hosting Llama 405B, enabling rapid AI inference and introducing stc Enterprise GPT for advanced generative AI applications across Saudi industries. With continued investment in AI research and development, chatbot deployment in government services is expected to expand further, improving public sector efficiency while aligning with the nation’s broader digitalization goals.
Growing Adoption in E-Commerce and Customer Service
Saudi Arabia’s e-commerce sector is experiencing rapid expansion, driven by rising internet penetration, increasing consumer demand for online shopping, and supportive government policies. AI-powered chatbots are playing a crucial role in transforming customer service within this sector, enabling retailers to enhance user experience and optimize sales operations. Leading e-commerce platforms, financial institutions, and telecom companies are integrating chatbots to handle customer inquiries, process transactions, and provide product recommendations. Retailers are utilizing AI chatbots to assist customers in multiple ways, from answering FAQs and tracking orders to offering personalized shopping suggestions based on user preferences and purchase history. These chatbots use advanced natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms to understand customer queries in Arabic and English, ensuring seamless communication. The growing demand for 24/7 customer support is further accelerating chatbot adoption, as businesses seek to improve engagement and operational efficiency. For instance, in February 2025, IBM and Lenovo announced the extension of their partnership to advance generative AI in Saudi Arabia, integrating IBM watsonx and SDAIA’s ALLaM model to enhance public services, fraud detection, and customer service. Moreover, AI chatbots are enhancing conversational commerce, where users can browse products, receive recommendations, and complete purchases through chat interfaces on messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. As AI capabilities continue to evolve, chatbot adoption in Saudi Arabia’s e-commerce and customer service industries will continue to expand, driving innovation and improving business-consumer interactions.
