In recent months, the Qatar Sovereign Wealth Fund has made a series of high-profile investments in the fields of artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure, but plans to adopt a more cautious and selective strategy for the industry in the next year. "The intersection of AI with other industries is crucial," CEO Mohammed Al-Sowaidi said at Davos. He believes that after five or six years of business development, investors should be able to assess their revenue potential, performance, and productivity improvement, "these are the companies we will intensify support for." "In the AI innovation field, what we are concerned about is short-term overheating," he added, specifically pointing out those who rely on market momentum for trading rather than building companies with long-term value models. Like other sovereign fund giants in the region, the Qatar Investment Authority has become a significant supporter of technology companies.
