Saudi Arabia will use AI to "construct" rather than "build" The Line.

 According to Giles Pendleton, executive director of NEOM, Saudi Arabia would employ "a lot of artificial intelligence to design through a digital twin backbone" rather than directly construct The Line.

Giles Pendleton reportedly said in an internal interview that "We've had to create quite a bit of real estate in a short length of time." Actually, we aren't building The Line. We're putting it together from a collection of pre-engineered, specified modular parts,"

But if we need 100 million of them, it's simpler for us to put up a factory and produce the identical block 100 million times, Pendleton continued. In order to avoid having to carry goods over long distances, we will develop a relatively straightforward procedure with streamlined, standardised, and industrialised production, in which items are produced in factories in big quantities within NEOM. Imagine it as a large assembling kit. Pre-engineered parts are great because you can regulate the quality and size, which makes things fit together.

Drone images of The Line, which is rumoured to be planning to create its digital counterpart using AI, have been made public in recent months.

The Line, a 34 square kilometre human-centered futuristic city concept developed by NEOM, is intended to house about 9 million people. The project was planned such that inhabitants could walk for 5 minutes to get to the facilities they require. The Line's proposed site is seen as a connection between Saudi Arabia's northwest and the Red Sea coast.

The concepts for the city's vertically tiered neighbourhoods, according to Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia and chairman of the NEOM Board of Directors, "would challenge the typical flat, horizontal cities and provide a paradigm for ecological preservation and improved human livability. The Line will address humanity's problems in modern urban life and highlight alternative solutions.
