From Oil to Hyperintelligence: The Strategic Pivot of GCC Countries
The GCC’s AI pivot marks a decisive break from hydrocarbon dependency, turning sovereign data, public capital, and enterprise scale into levers for AI-powered economic reinvention. Unlike fragmented efforts in other regions, the Gulf’s approach is both top-down and execution-focused, grounded in national AI visions, strategic sectoral priorities, and commercialization frameworks. What distinguishes the GCC is its intent to not only deploy AI but also build monetizable IP and regional platforms, especially in Arabic-first use cases. This transformation is not speculative; it is tightly aligned with fiscal rebalancing, industrial policy, and long-term digital sovereignty goals.

Avasant Quantum Series: The Provider Imperative — Preparing Enterprises for the Quantum Era
While many Tier 1 and Tier 2 service providers have started laying the foundation for quantum computing and adjacent technologies, progress remains inconsistent, and most are still in the early stages of true readiness. At Avasant, we recognize that service providers often require strategic guidance in navigating this complex and rapidly evolving space, particularly in understanding enterprise expectations and aligning capabilities accordingly. Drawing on deep client interactions and insights into enterprise aspirations across AI and quantum, we have developed a comprehensive framework for service providers to assess and build quantum readiness. This framework spans four critical dimensions: practice capabilities, talent development, ecosystem partnerships, and investment priorities. It also incorporates key decision-making principles that enterprises are using to evaluate and select providers for their quantum journey.

Super-Intelligence or Super-Humans? The Defining Contest of Our Age
As AI advances toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), humanity faces a paradox: driving machines toward greater autonomy while striving to preserve their own dominance.

At the same time, humans pursue their own evolution—extending life through biotechnology, personalized medicine, and brain-machine interfaces. This whitepaper explores the converging trajectories of AI and human enhancement, examining how both paths redefine competitiveness, survival, and the future balance between man and machine.
