Landmark AI Transformation Initiative for Financial Markets

World AI X Ventures (WAIX), in partnership with Kuwait Clearing Company (KCC), has successfully completed the first phase of Kuwait’s first Enterprise AI Transformation Program for Financial Markets — a milestone that positions KCC as a regional pioneer in responsible AI adoption and human–technology integration.

The collaboration reflects WAIX’s mission to empower institutions with the frameworks, tools, and leadership capabilities needed to accelerate enterprise AI readiness. Over the course of September and October 2025, more than 100 employees and 20 executive leaders at KCC underwent structured AI readiness, literacy, and transformation programs to align the company’s people, processes, and platforms for the AI era.

Sam Obeidat, President & Chief AI Officer of World AI X Ventures and Secretary-General of the World AI Council (WAIC), remarked:

Obeidat highlighted that the collaboration delivered tangible institutional outcomes — including the formation of the company’s first AI Transformation Team, the establishment of Centers of Excellence, and the identification of ten high-impact AI use cases that will redefine efficiency, compliance, and innovation within the Kuwaiti financial market.

Program Highlights

The Enterprise AI Transformation Program was designed by World AI X Ventures in three integrated phases, beginning with AI–Human Transformation, focused on workforce capability development and organizational alignment.

• AI–Human Transformation Program:
  20 executive leaders achieved certification as Chief AI Officers (CAIOs) through the globally accredited World AI X training program, while more than 90% of KCC’s employees completed the Certified AI Citizen training. This phase established the foundation for a shared understanding of responsible AI adoption and workforce transformation.

• AI Opportunities Discovery Program:
  Using WAIX’s proprietary AI Venture Studio Methodology, this phase identified and prioritized ten enterprise-level AI initiatives across post-trade operations, clearing and settlement, supervision, compliance, finance, HR, and corporate governance. Each use case was evaluated for feasibility, regulatory alignment, and financial impact, paving the way for implementation in the next phase.

Recognitions and Awards

In acknowledgment of this milestone, the World AI Council presented Kuwait Clearing Company with two prestigious awards:

🏆 AI Human Transformation Award — for leading the integration of human and technological capabilities through responsible, inclusive transformation.
🏆 AI Opportunities Discovery Award — for identifying and prioritizing AI initiatives that strengthen the efficiency and resilience of financial markets.

KCC also became the first financial institution in Kuwait to be recognized as a Founding Member of the World AI Council, contributing to the development of the “Gold Standards for AI Transformation” in the financial sector across the MENA region.

The Road Ahead

The next phase of the program, set to launch before the end of 2025, will focus on Enterprise AI Strategy and Governance Development, including technical implementation planning, architecture design, and compliance frameworks. WAIX will continue to support KCC in advancing its AI maturity model toward a scalable, intelligent, and human-centered financial market infrastructure.
