433 Young Saudis Create AI Media in SPA Academy Camp

A six-week training camp has brought together 433 young Saudi men and women to produce media content about their country using artificial intelligence, with their projects now being released to the public during the Saudi National Day period. The initiative, organized by SPA Academy, forms part of a broader project titled "The Best of My City."

The camp, named the "Artificial Intelligence Camp for Producing Media Content about the Nation," drew participants from 28 Saudi cities and 23 Saudi universities, covering all 13 regions of the Kingdom. Over the course of six weeks, the young creators were trained to develop media works using AI tools.

The content produced spans a wide range of national themes, including cultural heritage, landmarks, local products, traditional crafts, festivals, natural sites, tourist attractions, and the distinct identity of each region. The finished works are being published in daily batches throughout the National Day season.

Why it matters

The program highlights the growing role of young Saudis in shaping how the Kingdom's culture and regions are presented through modern digital tools. By combining media skills with artificial intelligence, participants are contributing content that celebrates local identity while building practical expertise in a fast-developing field.

Bringing together participants from every region gives audiences a broad, community-driven view of Saudi Arabia's diverse cities and traditions, offering residents and visitors alike a fresh look at the places and crafts that define daily life across the Kingdom.
