Artificial intelligence will build Saudi Arabia’s The Line

The Line at NEOM - an upcoming vertical city that will house nine million people and feature numerous cultural attractions - is being built through AI, its developers say.






The Line at NEOM - an upcoming vertical city that will house nine million people and feature numerous cultural attractions - is being built through AI, its developers say.

The US$500bn (€474.6bn, £407.6bn) city - which will be 200m (660ft) wide, 170km (106mi) long and 500m (1,640ft) above sea level - has been described as “civilisational revolution that puts humans first.”

Such a mammoth project is not being entirely designed by human hands, however, with NEOM’s executive director, Giles Pendleton, revealing that artificial intelligence will act as a “digital twin backbone” for the giga project.

“We’ve got to build quite a lot of real estate in a short space of time. Well, we’re not actually building THE LINE. We’re assembling it from a series of modular pieces that are pre-engineered and predetermined as to what they do,” he said.
