Saudi Arabia Launches Humain AI Company

Saudi Arabia has launched Humain, a new artificial intelligence company chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and led by former Aramco Digital CEO Tareq Amin, with backing from the Public Investment Fund. The launch is part of the country's Vision 2030 plan to diversify its economy and establish itself as a global AI hub. Humain will develop advanced AI infrastructure, including next-generation data centers, cloud solutions, and Arabic-language large models. The announcement precedes a major U.S.-Saudi investment forum in Riyadh featuring tech leaders like Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Mark Zuckerberg, and coincides with President Donald Trump's visit focused on tech investment and AI. Saudi Arabia has recently signed multibillion-dollar deals with global chipmakers and cloud operators and entered into AI partnerships with American tech giants such as Google and Salesforce. Humain's creation highlights the Kingdom's ambition to rival leading AI nations and drive regional technological innovation.
