Organised by Tahaluf and powered by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), DeepFest 2025 promises a four-day agenda of robot-powered interactions, tech demos, and technological breakthroughs, as well as immersive and transformative experiences across AI-powered explorations and gamified healthtech.
Celebrating the Future of AI in Riyadh
With more than 150 speakers - including Aidan Gomez, co-founder & CEO of Cohere, and Michael Spranger, President of Sony AI - joining an anticipated 48,000 attendees, DeepFest 2025 will be packed with thought leadership sessions, futuristic experiences, and live, theatre-style demos of robots, avatars, tech fashion and more.
AI visionaries gathering at DeepFest 2025 include Marc Raibert, Founder, Boston Dynamics; Dr. Daniela Braga, Founder & CEO of Defined.AI; and Lambert Hogenhout, the Chief of Data & AI at the United Nations’ Secretariat. The trio’s insights will address pressing challenges and opportunities across the AI ecosystem, from ethics and governance to sustainability and security.
Furthermore, humanoid robots by UB Tech and Pudu Robotics will accompany humans on the show floor, with automated baristas serving coffee and QSS Robotics unveiling its latest creation. A fusion of fashion and technology will also come to life with a demo of technological couture by Dutch designer Anouk Wipprecht, who will wear an interactive robotic dress on the DeepFest Main Stage to illustrate how clothing can serve as an emotional interface.
Attendees will explore the future of AI computing with Jonathan Ross, Founder & CEO of Groq, who will demonstrate the lightning-fast architecture behind the AI Groqchip, which is setting new standards for efficiency and scalability. And, in a groundbreaking session, AI will meet decentralisation when Marcello Mari, Founder & CEO of SingularityDAO, will conduct a live interview with his AI avatar, exploring what it means for humanity when digital versions of humans advocate for a decentralised AI future.
Spotlight on AI Innovation: Robots, Tech Couture and AI Doctors
AI in healthcare will come under the spotlight when the future of personalised medicine is showcased by Jean-Charles Samuelian-Werve, co-founder & CEO of Alan, as he interacts with ‘Mo’ - a Doctor AI assistant that gamifies health management and leverages biomarkers for preventative care.
DeepFest 2025 is a cornerstone event of Saudi Arabia’s transformative AI journey, aligning with the Kingdom’s US$100 billion Project Transcendence initiative, which underscores the country’s commitment to become a global AI hub that drives innovations shaping worldwide industries.
Through its technology showcases DeepFest 2025 will also help shape the future of living and working. With Saudi Arabia’s visionary AI initiatives as a backdrop, the event will foster global collaboration, spur innovation, and propel ethical advancement in AI.
