Abstract

Cloud computing has become a fundamental element of enterprise IT infrastructure; however, its effectiveness is frequently compromised by challenges related to resource management, cost optimization, and performance inefficiencies. Artificial intelligence (AI) provides powerful tools to address these issues by automating decision-making, improving resource allocation, and enhancing security. This paper explores how AI-driven solutions can enhance enterprise cloud computing by increasing scalability, reducing costs, and improving overall performance. Additionally, it presents a comprehensive review of seminal works exploring the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cloud Computing (CC), focusing on their combined impact on strategic decision-making, resource management, and business innovation. The advancements, challenges, and future directions of AI and cloud computing in Saudi Arabia aligning with the nation's Vision 2030 goals will be explored.
