Scale AI has entered into a five-year agreement with the government of Qatar to develop artificial intelligence tools across multiple sectors including education, civil service, healthcare, transportation, and tourism. According to internal documents viewed by CNBC, the initiative will include building AI-powered personalized learning platforms, teacher assistants, medical scribes, automated licensing systems, and intelligent transportation monitoring.
Signed in February, the agreement marks Scale AI’s most expansive international government partnership to date. Trevor Thompson, the company’s global head of growth, said the goal is to create solutions that are “adoptable and truly useful,” emphasizing the importance of seamless integration into existing systems.
The partnership comes amid Scale AI’s rapid growth, with projected 2025 revenue exceeding $2 billion — more than double its 2024 total. The company is also preparing a $25 billion tender offer for early investors and employees.
Scale AI, a key infrastructure provider to OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Meta, is expanding globally, with government contracts in Asia and Europe expected to contribute significantly to upcoming revenue. In the U.S., the company recently secured a multimillion-dollar contract with the Department of Defense to support its Thunderforge AI agent program, marking a major step into national security applications.
The Qatar project also includes deploying AI agents for customer service across chat, voice, and email, and automating key public services such as construction permits, legal document review, and contract drafting. In tourism, the company will develop a personalized visitor experience app designed to enhance the country’s growing international appeal.
