  "summary": "Saudi Arabia has moved up the rankings to become the joint fourth fastest-growing data centre market globally. The country's live IT power has increased by 57 per cent, driven by rising demand for artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure, according to Arabian Business.\n\nThe growing demand for AI and smart technologies in Saudi Arabia is also being met by companies such as LG Electronics, which has opened the Middle East's first business-to-business AI home experience space in Riyadh. The space showcases LG's built-in appliances in a simulated residential setting and aims to provide integrated solutions to local customers.\n\nLG's expansion into Saudi Arabia is driven by the country's growing market for smart buildings and premium residential complexes. According to Yonhap News, the Saudi smart home market is expected to grow significantly, reaching around $8.7 billion by 2030.",
