Source: ArgaamAlso reported by Gulf Business

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who chairs the Public Investment Fund, launched HUMAIN as a PIF-owned AI company and chairs it himself. HUMAIN is to build data centres and cloud infrastructure, develop an Arabic large language model and sell AI services to sectors including energy, health, industry and finance. NVIDIA’s release the next day named Tareq Amin as HUMAIN’s chief executive.

Why it matters

Saudi Arabia put its AI infrastructure, models and services under one state-owned company, which became the counterparty for the large chip and cloud deals announced the next day.
