تلجأ كثير من الدول والمنظمات التي تستضيف أحداثاً ومناسبات وفعاليات كبرى إلى تطبيقات التسويق التنبئي باستخدام تقنيات الذكاء الاصطناعي؛ لقياس مؤشرات معارف واتجاهات وسلوكيات المشاركين، وتحليل البيانات الضخمة عنهم، وتعزيز الإجراءات الاستباقية والوقائية، إلى جانب القدرة على اتخاذ القرارات من خلال رسم السيناريوهات المحتملة، والفرضيات المتوقع حدوثها، كذلك تقييم احتمالية النجاح، والفجوات التي يمكن السيطرة عليها، والأخرى التي تتطلب تدخلاً من مستويات أعلى.
في موسم الحج لا يكفي أن يكون هناك توثيق ورصد وتحليل للبيانات عن ضيوف الرحمن، ولكن الأهم -مع كل ذلك- هو التنبؤ القبلي برحلة الحج في كل موسم، والظروف المحيطة بهذه الرحلة، والدروس المستفادة منها، بما ينعكس على أمن وسلامة وخدمة الحجاج، حيث يمثّل التسويق التنبئي للأفكار والخدمات والمنتجات أحد أهم مسارات تعظيم الأثر في إدارة الحدث برؤية عميقة، وتعزيز الصورة الذهنية، والحفاظ على المكانة الدينية والتاريخية والثقافية للحج، ويتم ذلك من خلال خوارزميات الذكاء الاصطناعي بإدخال البيانات ومعالجتها، والخروج بالفرص والتحديات، وآلية التعامل معها قبلياً ولحظياً وحتى مستقبلياً.
جميع القطاعات المشاركة في موسم الحج (العام، الخاص، غير الربحي) تمارس عملية التنبؤ في معارف واتجاهات وسلوكيات الحجاج، وذلك عطفاً على البيانات والتجارب السابقة، وتسعى في كل موسم أن تقيس تلك التنبؤات ومدى صحتها، والمتغيرات المصاحبة لها، والعوامل المؤثرة فيها، وهو ما يجعل نجاح كل موسم في الحج أفضل من سابقه، وأكثر تطويراً في خدماته.
وخلال الأيام الماضية ظهرت منتجات إعلامية متنوعة للقطاعات المشاركة في الحج، وبالنظر إلى عناصر التحليل السيميائي (الدال، والمدلول، والدلالة، والمعنى) تبرز دلالات التنبؤ في مضامين تلك المنتجات، حيث بات واضحاً أن الخطاب الإعلامي قائم على تحليل عميق لما تمّ في العام الماضي، والبناء عليه في هذا العام، من خلال خطوات التحسين والتطوير والتغيير، وجميعها تعطي انطباعاً عن مدى الرؤية والقدرة معاً في تحقيق النجاح والتميّز.
مثلاً؛ في منظومة النقل هذا العام تمّت زيادة الطاقة الاستيعابية لقطار الحرمين لتصل إلى مليوني مقعد؛ بزيادة 400 ألف مقعد عن العام الماضي، وهذا نتيجة التنبؤ بزيادة استخدام الحجاج لهذه الوسيلة عند قدومهم للمملكة، وذلك بناءً على نتائج تحليل بيانات العام الماضي، كذلك الحال بالنسبة لإضافة 30 خدمة جديدة في تطبيق نسك بعدما رأى المسؤولون في وزارة الحج والعمرة أهميتها هذا العام، وتطبيق شرط الاستطاعة الصحية بعدما أظهر تحليل البيانات أهميتها لتقليل أعداد المرضى المنومين في المستشفيات، إضافة إلى التشديد في حملة لا حج بلا تصريح، من خلال اتخاذ عدد من الإجراءات الصارمة للالتزام بتأشيرة الحج، وغيرها من الخدمات والقرارات التي تم اتخاذها نتيجة لعامل التنبؤ.
اليوم هناك فُرق في الحج تُخطط، وأخرى تُنفذ، وثالثة تُراقب، ورابعة -وهي الأهم- تتنبأ بالمستقبل، من خلال جمع كل البيانات والتقارير في نهاية كل موسم، وتحليلها بعمق باستخدام تقنيات الذكاء الاصطناعي التي سهّلت تلك الإجراءات، والاستعداد مبكراً للموسم الذي يليه، وهذه الرحلة ليست سهلة، أو يمكن التعامل معها لمرة واحدة، ولكنها عملية مستمرة، وهو ما يجعل اجتماعات المسؤولين في القطاعات واللجان بعد نهاية موسم كل حج أكثر أهمية وشفافية واستعداداً لموسم الحج المقبل.
نسأل الله أن يتقبّل من الحجاج نُسكهم، ويعودوا إلى أهلهم سالمين غانمين، وأن يجزي المملكة قيادة وحكومة وشعباً على ما يقدمونه من أعمال خالصة لوجهه الكريم، ومن نجاح إلى آخر في كل موسم حج.

Many countries and organizations hosting major events and occasions resort to predictive marketing applications using artificial intelligence techniques to measure the indicators of knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of participants, analyze big data about them, and enhance proactive and preventive measures, along with the ability to make decisions by outlining potential scenarios and expected hypotheses. This also includes evaluating the likelihood of success, the gaps that can be controlled, and those that require intervention from higher levels.
During the Hajj season, it is not enough to document, monitor, and analyze data about the guests of the Most Merciful; what is more important—alongside all of that—is the prior prediction of the Hajj journey each season, the circumstances surrounding this journey, and the lessons learned from it, which reflects on the safety, security, and service of the pilgrims. Predictive marketing of ideas, services, and products represents one of the most important pathways to maximizing impact in event management with deep insight, enhancing the mental image, and preserving the religious, historical, and cultural status of Hajj. This is achieved through artificial intelligence algorithms by inputting and processing data, resulting in opportunities and challenges, and mechanisms to address them proactively, in real-time, and even in the future.
All sectors participating in the Hajj season (public, private, and non-profit) engage in the process of predicting the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of pilgrims, based on previous data and experiences. Each season, they strive to measure those predictions, their accuracy, the accompanying variables, and the influencing factors, which makes the success of each Hajj season better than the previous one and more developed in its services.
In recent days, various media products have emerged for the sectors participating in Hajj. Looking at the elements of semiotic analysis (signifier, signified, significance, and meaning), the implications of prediction in the content of those products become evident. It is clear that the media discourse is based on a deep analysis of what happened last year and building upon it this year, through steps of improvement, development, and change, all of which give an impression of the extent of vision and capability together in achieving success and excellence.
For example, in the transportation system this year, the capacity of the Haramain train has been increased to two million seats, an increase of 400,000 seats from last year. This is a result of predicting an increase in the use of this means of transport by pilgrims upon their arrival in the Kingdom, based on the analysis of last year's data. The same applies to the addition of 30 new services in the Nusuk application after officials in the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah recognized their importance this year, and the implementation of the health capability condition after data analysis showed its significance in reducing the number of patients hospitalized. Additionally, there has been a tightening of the "No Hajj Without a Permit" campaign, through the implementation of a number of strict measures to comply with the Hajj visa, among other services and decisions made as a result of predictive factors.
Today, there are teams in Hajj that plan, others that implement, a third that monitors, and a fourth—which is the most important—that predicts the future by collecting all data and reports at the end of each season and analyzing them deeply using artificial intelligence techniques that have facilitated these procedures, preparing early for the next season. This journey is not easy, nor can it be handled just once; it is a continuous process, which makes meetings of officials in the sectors and committees after the end of each Hajj season more important, transparent, and prepared for the upcoming Hajj season.
We ask Allah to accept the pilgrimages of the pilgrims, to return them to their families safe and sound, and to reward the Kingdom—leadership, government, and people—for their sincere efforts for His noble cause, and for their continuous success in every Hajj season.
