At the Global Games Show 2026 in Riyadh, Entrepreneur Middle East spoke with Majed M. AlAli, founder and CEO of M.A Sports, about the importance of building a thriving sports ecosystem and the growing influence of artificial intelligence across industries.
Rather than concentrating on a single business vertical, AlAli explains why his company has chosen to support multiple areas of the sports sector as part of a broader vision for long-term development.
He also offers a thoughtful perspective on AI, arguing that while the technology can accelerate productivity, it should never replace the creative process that develops critical thinking, problem-solving and innovation.
The discussion also touches on the role of governments in creating policies that ensure AI delivers sustainable value rather than short-lived trends.
