HCI 2025 was held under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Chairman of the Human Capability Development Program Committee (HCDP), the organization which hosts HCI.
HCI 2025 welcomed over 13,000 participants from 120 countries to the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center in Riyadh under the theme #BeyondReadiness. The conference saw over 100 agreements announced across industry and various economic sectors, with a total investment of SAR8.5bn (US$2.2bn). Among the key agreements, the prestigious London Business School revealed plans to establish a new office in Riyadh.
This year's event brought together a stellar lineup, with senior government officials such as the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education of South Korea, joining leaders from the private and nonprofit sectors. Global organizations and top academic institutions were also represented, including the World Bank, International Labor Organization (ILO), World Economic Forum (WEF), United Nations Development Program (UNDP), and UNICEF, as well as Microsoft, Google for Education, Apple Academy, University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy and London Business School. The conference served as a dynamic platform for fostering collaboration and innovation in addressing the challenges of a rapidly changing labor market.
Speaking at the conference, Dr. Majid bin Abdullah Al-Kassabi, Minister of Commerce, said: "Saudi Arabia today is moving…from ambition to action. Vision 2030 is no longer a roadmap, it's no longer a blueprint. It's transformation in motion, reflecting the ambitions of the Kingdom's leadership and reaffirming Saudi Arabia's commitment to building a prosperous future for its people and strengthening its leadership on both regional and global fronts."
During his opening remarks on the second day of the conference, H.E. Eng. Ahmed bin Sulaiman AlRajhi, Saudi Minister of Human Resources & Social Development, said: "Throughout history, progress has been driven by those willing to adapt, to innovate, and to embrace change. Today we find ourselves at a time when human capital is not a subset of economy and fiscal policy, it is the defining variable of global prosperity."
In his closing address, H.E. Yousef Al-Benyan, Minister of Education, said: "Throughout this conference, we engaged in powerful dialogues and shared innovative insights that underscore the extraordinary potential within every individual. HCI 2025 demonstrated that sustainable human capability development and meaningful impact require cross-sector partnerships, collective responsibility, and strategic alignment across governments, private sectors, academic institutions and civil society."
HCI hosted a ministerial roundtable, bringing together international human capability development officials alongside leading international experts in education and technology, as well as representatives from local and international organizations. The discussion centered on the theme 'AI Skills for All', which delved into strategies to ensure equitable access to this transformative technology.
The conference also marked the launch of the 'Future Skills Initiative' by H.E. the Minister of Commerce and Chair of the Economic and Social Committee of the Saudi–UK Strategic Partnership Council. This initiative seeks to foster the exchange of expertise to cultivate future-ready skills across 13 high-potential sectors. The launch was attended by 40 government officials and 100 business leaders from Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom.
This year's agenda focused on pioneering innovative learning models to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in an evolving labor market shaped by rapid technological advancements, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI).
At the conclusion of the conference, the Minister of Education and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Human Capability Development Program, alongside Eng. Anas Al-Mudaifer, CEO, and Dr. Bedour Alrayes, Vice President of the Human Capability Development Program (HCDP), extended their gratitude to HCI partners across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors – both within the Kingdom and globally – for their contributions to the event's success.

CHICAGO, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Relativity, a legal data intelligence company, today announced the general availability of its generative AI-powered case intelligence solution, Relativity aiR for Case Strategy. Designed with lawyers and litigation professionals in mind, aiR for Case Strategy makes it faster and simpler to develop case narratives, enabling users to auto-extract facts, visualize fact chronologies, accelerate deposition preparation, and create document, witness and transcript summaries.
"Generative AI is redefining what's possible in case preparation, empowering legal teams to move from information to insight with greater speed and precision than ever before," said Phil Saunders, CEO of Relativity. "We're committed to expanding our case intelligence capabilities because giving our partners and customers a clearer, more complete understanding of their matters sooner enables them to focus on serving their clients, creating greater impact and building narratives that ultimately advance justice."
Legal teams working across complex disputes often face pressure to understand the facts and issues earlier in the life cycle of a matter. aiR for Case Strategy helps establish a clear factual foundation by revealing key events, illuminating gaps in evidence and highlighting the relationships among people, documents and testimony. This level of context is especially important in disputes and litigation, effectively enabling stronger strategic planning and more confident preparation for witness meetings, interviews and depositions.
Elevating strategic casework from data to decision-making
More than 50 customers have tested aiR for Case Strategy and extracted approximately 600,000 facts through Relativity's limited general availability program. These early adopters achieved time savings, cost efficiencies, improved collaboration and increased scalability. Tasks that once took hours—sifting through emails, chats and contracts to extract facts, build chronologies and draft summaries—now take minutes. From the outset of a matter, users can uncover the story in their data, shape a case narrative and determine how they want to argue the matter.
"With aiR for Case Strategy, we can see the story behind the evidence much earlier in the process. It helps extract and organize facts into timelines so our teams can quickly turn information into actionable insights," said Michael Song, Head of GTDocs at Gilbert + Tobin. "That allows our lawyers to spend more time shaping strategy, refining narratives and anticipating challenges, freeing them to focus on the parts of a case that drive the greatest impact."
Timeline visualizations make it easy to identify gaps or blind spots in the data, helping teams build a complete picture of events. The solution also generates holistic witness summaries that give users a clear view of each key player and support critical decisions about whether a deposition is warranted. Additionally, the solution provides a rich set of interview questions grounded in both the documents and underlying facts, enabling teams to effectively probe each individual's role in the matter.
"aiR for Case Strategy dramatically reduces the manual work of extracting facts and building useful timelines in Relativity," said Martha Louks, Managing Director, Discovery Technology Services, McDermott Will & Emery. "It offers a novel way to eliminate tedious work and allow attorneys to focus on case analysis and strategy."
Accelerating insight across complex, fast-paced matters
Relativity partner Page One, Inc., used aiR for Case Strategy to support its law firm client on a fast-paced financial services case where large volumes of lengthy deposition transcripts were creating significant pressure on the team. Using the solution to summarize and review 32 transcripts—each 200 to 300-plus pages—the team quickly identified and organized the most important information 70% faster.
"aiR for Case Strategy exceeded expectations by proving not just that it worked, but that it was repeatable, defensible and intuitive," said Andrew Milauskas, Chief Operating Officer of Page One, Inc. "We went from spending hours per transcript to extracting key facts within minutes. Our confidence grew quickly once we saw that aiR for Case Strategy consistently surfaced the same core insights we would have found manually."
Transcripts are central to litigation strategy, from depositions to hearings and trials. With aiR for Case Strategy, legal teams can unlock greater clarity from their transcripts through advanced automation and collaboration features. The solution enables users to automatically generate transcript summaries, collaboratively mark up and annotate testimony, and designate key excerpts for trial preparation and presentation. These enhanced capabilities accelerate credibility assessments and empower teams to plot next steps with confidence.
For litigation support professionals, transcript features introduce multi-sync video deposition capabilities, a streamlined workflow for importing depositions and associated files, and exhibit-linking tools that make transcript management more efficient and easier to navigate.
Breaking down silos to build cohesive case stories
Within RelativityOne, aiR for Case Strategy serves as a centralized hub that enables case teams to work from a shared repository of key case intelligence. Teams can move directly from document review into crafting their strategic case story and preparing for investigations, witness examinations, depositions and trial all within one secure, collaborative environment.
"What we're seeing now with generative AI tools is tighter overlap across teams, reviewers, case teams, and partners working from the same pool of insights," said Michael Frankel, Counsel at Troutman Pepper Locke. "The silos are breaking down, and everyone can contribute to building the narrative earlier."
aiR for Case Strategy is currently available in the U.S., the U.K., Australia, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Ireland, the UAE, Brazil, South Africa, India, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong, with additional markets to be added over time. The solution is projected to launch in RelativityOne Government in the first half of 2026. To learn more about aiR for Case Strategy, join Relativity on Feb. 19 at 12 p.m. CT for a webinar that walks through how AI is reshaping case strategy to get to the heart of a case faster.
