Cerebras.. A Heavyweight in the Smart Chip Race
Samer Choucair explained that Cerebras is among the most prominent global companies specializing in high-performance AI chips, noting its reliance on “Wafer-Scale Engine” technology, which is considered one of the largest processing technologies in the world.
Choucair pointed out that the company possesses a technical architecture featuring trillions of transistors and hundreds of thousands of cores, making it a key technical partner for several major firms in cloud computing and Artificial Intelligence.
He added that the company’s financial growth, which included a rise in revenues and profits during 2025, clearly reflects the volume of increasing global demand for AI technologies.
The AI Boom in 2026
Samer Choucair clarified that the Cerebras listing came at a moment when the world is witnessing an unprecedented expansion in generative AI applications, explaining that this sector has become the new primary driver of global economic growth.
Choucair noted that the AI chip market is heading toward a trillion dollars in the coming years, as a result of the massive expansion in data centers and the need for advanced processing capabilities.
He emphasized that listing companies like Cerebras opens the door for investors to enter the full value chain of this industry, whether through global markets or specialized funds.
Vision 2030 and the Knowledge Economy in the Gulf
Samer Choucair explained that these developments intersect directly with the objectives of Vision 2030, which focuses on building an advanced knowledge economy based on technology and innovation.
Choucair said: “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has succeeded in strengthening its capabilities in digital infrastructure through the expansion of data centers and attracting global technical investments.”
He added that the Kingdom, with the support of the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and SDAIA, has become an attractive regional hub for investments in Artificial Intelligence and advanced technologies.
Investment Opportunities in 2026
Samer Choucair advised investors in the Gulf to focus on the ongoing transformations in the AI sector, explaining that opportunities are no longer confined to global companies but extend to the infrastructure supporting this sector.
Choucair pointed out that investing in data centers, the energy supporting them, and advanced cooling solutions represents one of the most important drivers of growth in the coming phase.
He added that geographical and sectoral investment diversification has become a necessity rather than an option, in light of the rapid shifts in the global digital economy.
The Smart Investor’s Strategy
Samer Choucair confirmed that investing in Artificial Intelligence requires a long-term vision, explaining that this sector does not represent a temporary wave but a structural shift in the global economy.
Choucair noted that investors entering the market at this early stage will be the most to benefit from the next growth cycle, especially with the expansion of AI uses across various sectors.
The Beginning of a New Economic Phase
Samer Choucair concluded his talk by emphasizing that the Cerebras listing on Nasdaq was not just a financial event, but the beginning of a new chapter in the global AI economy.
Choucair said that this moment represents a strategic opportunity for investors in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf to integrate into one of the fastest-growing sectors in the world, asserting that the future will be built on advanced technologies rather than traditional models.
He added that the message was clear: those who move today in the AI sector will be part of the coming global economy, while those who delay will find themselves outside the circle of major opportunities.
