Abstract

The present study analyzes the effect of governmental investment in AI technology on creating jobs in Saudi Arabia, framed within the scope of Vision 2030. The study employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine the mediating effect of training and upskilling initiatives and the moderating impact of AI technology adoption rates. Vision 2030 underscores economic diversification and innovation, identifying AI as pivotal in reshaping the labor market. The results demonstrate that governmental investment in AI substantially increases employment creation directly and indirectly via improved training and upskilling initiatives. Increased AI adoption rates further reinforce this relationship, underscoring the necessity for a conducive environment for technological integration. The research presents empirical information regarding the relationship among policy-driven AI investments, workforce development, and technology uptake, delivering practical recommendations for policymakers. These findings highlight the strategic significance of customized investment and training frameworks to optimize AI’s employment potential, enhancing the literature on AI-driven employment ecosystems by incorporating mediation and moderation effects.
