Ahmed Z. Alsinan, Ph.D.
I am the Head of Innovation – KSA at Amazon Web Services, where I lead strategic initiatives that harness Generative AI, agentic systems, and multimodal foundation models to accelerate Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation. My focus is on turning ambitious concepts into scalable, cloud-native solutions that empower ministries, hospitals, universities, and enterprises to achieve impact at national scale.
Previously, I co-directed the SDAIA–KAUST Center of Excellence and served as Senior AI Consultant at SDAIA, guiding teams that built transformative products in healthcare, smart cities, and national platforms across imaging, NLP, and real-time video analytics. Earlier, as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University, I collaborated with Drs. Geoffrey Sonn and Mirabela Rusu to develop deep-learning techniques for cancer detection, radiology–pathology fusion, and 3D biomedical reconstruction.
I hold a Ph.D. in Electrical & Computer Engineering from Rutgers University and M.S./B.S. degrees from Michigan State. With more than 14 years of experience in AI, I am passionate about advancing responsible AI, computer vision, and generative technologies to deliver solutions that improve lives and drive innovation.
