RIYADH (Reuters) - NEOM Tech & Digital, a subsidiary of the $500 billion signature NEOM project of the Saudi crown prince, has invested $1 billion in 2022 in AI, including a metaverse platform, its chief executive said on Tuesday.
Joseph Bradley said the company is also changing its name to Tonomus as NEOM works to integrate AI techs in the building of its flagship project The Line, a zero-carbon city with robots, holograms and mirrored facades stretching over 170 kilometres (150 miles) and running on 100% renewable energy.
