Houthis say their drone attacks target several Saudi cities

Al Jazeera

Yemen's Houthi fighters said they fired 14 drones at several Saudi cities on Saturday, including at Saudi Aramco facilities in Jeddah, with the Saudi state news agency reporting that the Saudi-led coalition attacked 13 targets in Yemen during a military operation against the group. Yahya Saree, the Houthi military spokesman, said in a televised press conference on Saturday that the group had attacked Aramco's refineries in Jeddah as well as military targets in Riyadh, Jeddah, Abha, Jizan and Najran. Saree said the attacks were in response to the escalation of "aggression" by the Saudi-led Arab coalition "and the continuation of its crimes and siege" of Yemen. However, inaccuracies were reported in Saree's statement – it mentioned the wrong name for the international airport in Jeddah and the wrong location for King Khalid base, saying it was in Riyadh when it is actually in the south of the kingdom. While there has been no comment from the Saudi-led coalition on the drone-attack claims, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said the coalition's operation in Yemen on Saturday hit weapons depots, air defence systems and drones' communication systems in the capital Sanaa as well as Saada and Marib provinces.

#artificialintelligence

JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia will be a global artificial intelligence (AI) leader by 2030, a prominent Saudi expert has said. Dr. Abdullah bin Sharaf Al-Ghamdi, president of the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), made the comments during a media briefing on shaping new frontiers at the International Media Center in Riyadh ahead of the G20 Leaders' Summit. Last year, the authority developed the Estishraf Platform, an AI-based platform that utilizes data to create diversified insights and respond to the top priorities of decision-makers in Saudi Arabia. "Through this platform we were able to earn revenues amounting to SR43 billion ($11.5 billion), only in 2019," said Al-Ghamdi. "Undoubtedly, this is an excellent indicator for the great opportunities the national economy is waiting for after AI has become a knowledge-based economy."


The Startup vibes in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia !

#artificialintelligence

I used to see the young people in the city mostly spending their time at the eateries, playing games online, driving out to the desert. Coffee shops were just a place to drink coffee or spend some time chilling out. That scenario is slowly changing. A new group of youngsters are emerging in Jeddah who love music, art, fashion as well as creating their own startups. Many of these youngsters are women.


Dresses Flutter On Drones In Saudi Fashion Show, But Critics Aren't Buying It

NPR Technology

A fashion show in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, that used drones to walk clothes down a runway has been ripped apart by Arab fashion elites and critics who compared the dresses to ghosts and dementors. Ali Nabil Akbar tells BBC Arabic he thought showing the dresses via drone during the Saturday show at Hilton Hotel was "suitable for Ramadan." "The idea is that we want to add things that are simple yet beautiful," Akbar tells the BBC. "Even the décor and set-up of the hall was organized beautifully, everything involved innovation."

But for three days over the weekend, some 20,000 Saudis decked out in costumes and face paint queued to get into the kingdom's first-ever Comic Con, where robots, video games and giant anime figures filled a tent in the Red Sea city of Jeddah.
