Embracing AI: The key to unlocking the future of banking and finance

Here’s your 30-second podcast script: "The UAE’s AI market is booming, set to skyrocket from 3.47 billion dollars in 2023 to over 46 billion by 2030, transforming the banking world with hyper-personalised services, smarter fraud detection, and real-time risk management. But what does this mean for the paper packaging industry? As fintech digitises faster, demand for physical banking materials—like printed forms, envelopes, and mailed statements—will shrink dramatically. Packaging producers must pivot toward e-commerce, pharma, or sustainable FMCG sectors to stay relevant. It’s not just a tech story—it’s a supply chain shift in motion."https://gulfbusiness.com/embracing-ai-to-unlock-the-future-of-banking/

The Middle East Has Entered the AI Group Chat

In a high-stakes summit on May 14, 2025, Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met in Riyadh, flanked by billionaire tech moguls and fighter jets, to ink AI-driven deals aimed at reshaping global power dynamics—but what does this mean for paper packaging? Here’s the twist: as AI investments surge, expect smart packaging to explode, especially in logistics and supply chain visibility. With AI now a geopolitical bargaining chip, paper-based packaging firms must pivot fast—think embedded sensors, traceability, and data-driven design. The future of packaging just got an AI upgrade, and it’s unfolding fast.https://www.wired.com/story/trump-middle-east-artificial-intelligence-investments/

US-Saudi $142 Billion Defense Deal Sparks Questions, Few Answers

Here’s your 30-second podcast script: Buckle up, packaging pros—Trump just announced a $142 billion defense deal with Saudi Arabia, but here’s the twist: their entire defense budget is only $78 billion. Experts say much of the deal may repackage old agreements, making it more political theater than procurement. But here’s the hidden impact—if Saudi Arabia stretches its budget for defense, it could delay infrastructure and consumer investments, dampening demand for imported goods and the paper packaging they require. For converters and exporters, that’s a signal to watch Middle East logistics closely.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-15/us-saudi-142-billion-defense-deal-sparks-questions-few-answers

US hardens stance on Huawei AI chips

The US just turned up the heat on Huawei, warning global companies that using its AI chips—even outside the US—could trigger criminal penalties under tightened export rules. Why? Because Huawei is rising fast, threatening to rival Nvidia in the AI chip race. But here’s the twist for the paper packaging industry: AI acceleration in China, driven by domestic chip resilience, could supercharge demand for smart packaging and automation tools made locally. As Western tech decouples, expect a parallel packaging innovation boom in Asia—reshaping global supply chains and sustainability benchmarks. Stay sharp, the packaging future is going dual-core.https://www.semafor.com/article/05/14/2025/us-hardens-stance-on-huawei-ai-chips
