Why now
AI will reshape every economy. The question is who leads it.
Artificial intelligence is one of the most powerful forces for reshaping business in decades, already the engine behind the world's most valuable organisations. Regions that embed it now will define the next era; those that wait will spend the decade catching up.
An AI Center of Excellence makes a nation's ambition concrete: a shared, open and inclusive home where government, industry, enterprise, startups and students build real AI capability, together.
