Humain, the artificial intelligence company supported by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, is expected to reveal several new partnerships with U.S. firms. The Kingdom is investing billions as it pushes to become the world’s third-largest hub for AI.
Humain is preparing to unveil plans for massive multi-gigawatt data centers built with partners such as Amazon, AMD, xAI, and GlobalAI.
These announcements are expected to come shortly after the U.S. agreed to move forward with a major semiconductor sale to Saudi Arabia.
Humain’s CEO, Tareq Amin, has said he expects the company to have U.S.-made AI chips by the time its first data centers launch in early 2026.
The agreement that may be announced after meetings between President Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman could give Saudi Arabia access to a large supply of AI chips for certain approved uses.
This arrangement would spare the kingdom from having to submit repeated requests for chip exports. It’s still not known how many of these agreements will be truly new or meaningful. It’s also uncertain whether they reflect real progress on the deals first revealed during President Donald Trump’s visit to Riyadh in May.
Saudi Arabia is presenting itself to U.S. tech companies as a low-cost destination for computing power. With plenty of land and inexpensive energy, the Kingdom sees itself as an appealing spot for big tech firms to expand their data capacity.
At the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh last month, Amin said his ambition is to make Saudi Arabia the world’s third-largest AI infrastructure hub, behind only the U.S. and China.
