在 MWC26 多哈站 Keynote 2 演讲中，卡塔尔通信与信息技术部（MCIT）数字产业事务助理次长 Reem Al Mansoori 明确表态，卡塔尔的 AI 生态系统建设必须由政府主导推进，私营部门无法独立承担这一任务。她强调，AI 生态必须以“有机”方式构建，其成功取决于政府与私营部门之间的大规模协作，而政府“需要处于核心位置，必须迈出最大的一步并承担相应责任”。这一表态为海湾国家在 AI 竞赛中的国家主导模式再次提供了注脚。
为何私营部门独木难支
Al Mansoori 从三个维度论证了政府介入的必要性：AI 基础设施所需的投资规模、技术本身的巨大成本，以及市场对发展速度的预期。这三重压力叠加，意味着“私营部门无法靠自己完成这一切”。她指出，政府首先要做的是搭建生态系统的整体框架——包括愿景、流程和战略，以此引领各方参与者。
在落地路径上，她将基础设施作为切入点，具体指向数据中心、算力容量、GPU 以及能够加速部署的服务层面的投资。在她看来，政府先把这一层“地基”打好，私营部门和企业便可以直接在此之上开发各自的应用场景，形成先基建、后用例的递进节奏。这一思路与多国“算力先行”的 AI 国家战略逻辑一脉相承，也反映出中小型经济体在 GPU 等稀缺资源竞争中依赖国家力量集中采购与配置的现实。
用例落地：先有地基，再谈价值
在应用层面，Al Mansoori 对企业界提出了务实的忠告：部署 AI 之前必须确保基础能力到位，并明确识别真实的需求与市场需求。“我们需要以一种真正创造价值的方式来看待 AI，”她表示。她呼吁企业关注效率提升、增长潜力和经济影响三个层面，而非为技术而技术。这一提醒针对的正是当前不少组织在生成式 AI 热潮中盲目上马项目、投入产出失衡的通病。
海湾 AI 竞赛的政府之手
从更宏观的视角看，卡塔尔的表态并非孤例。海湾国家普遍将 AI 视为经济多元化转型的核心引擎，沙特、阿联酋均已推出国家级 AI 战略并投入巨资建设算力与数据中心。在人口规模有限、本土科技产业基础相对薄弱的条件下，由国家出面统筹基础设施投资、标准制定和产业引导，几乎成为该区域的一致选择。Al Mansoori 所强调的“有机构建、不可复制”，也点出了 AI 与以往技术浪潮的本质差异——它不只是工具迭代，而是需要数据、算力、人才与治理协同演进的系统工程。
从长期看，卡塔尔能否将政府主导的顶层设计转化为私营部门活跃的应用创新，关键在于基建投入的兑现速度与本地人才培养的配套进度。政府“迈出最大一步”之后，生态能否真正生长起来，仍需市场检验。

英文原文MWC26 DOHA, QATAR: Reem Al Mansoori, assistant undersecretary for digital industry affairs at Qatar’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), insisted the government will play a central role in developing and shaping the country’s AI ecosystem, an effort which cannot be undertaken solely by the private sector. Speaking in Keynote 2, Al Mansoori said the AI ecosystem must be built “organically” as it cannot be replicated in the same way as other previous technology advancements and its success hinges on substantial collaboration between the state and private sector organisations. “The government needs to be at the heart of that,” she said. “It has to take the biggest step and the responsibility.” Al Mansoori pointed to the large scale of investment required for AI infrastructure, the sheer cost of the technology and expectations on the pace of development which is evidence that the “private sector cannot do it by themselves”. “The government need to, first of all, start to put in the ecosystem, the view, the processes, the strategy, to start to lead everyone.” She argued infrastructure was an important place to start, pointing to investment required in data centres, capacity, GPUs and services that can speed up deployment. “From here, the private sector and organisations can immediately tap on top of that and start to develop their use cases.” Add value In terms of use cases, Al Mansoori urged organisations to ensure they have the foundations in place before deploying AI, while pressing on the need to identify a clear need and demand for it. “We need really to look into it in a way that it adds a value,” she said, calling on companies to look at efficiency gains, the potential to influence growth and lead to economic impact.
