Humain is a Saudi artificial intelligence company established under the Public Investment Fund to drive the Kingdom's AI strategy. Launched on May 12, 2025, by Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Humain aims to position Saudi Arabia as a global leader in AI innovation and infrastructure.

History

Humain was founded as part of Arabian peninsula's broader efforts to diversify its economy and reduce dependence on oil revenues through technological innovation. ^[2] It was announced during a high-profile Saudi-U.S. investment forum in Riyadh, attended by U.S. President Donald Trump and tech leaders such as Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Arvind Krishna, Andy Jassy, and Jensen Huang. ^[3] For those companies, Saudi Arabia boasts abundant sunlight and fossil reserves, providing favorable conditions for AI data centers requiring significant computing power. ^{[4] [5]}

At Snapdragon Summit 2025, they announced Horizon Pro AI laptops. ^[6]

Strategic partnerships

During Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia in May 2025, Humain secured partnerships with leading American technology companies: ^[7]

• Nvidia: Agreed to supply at least 18,000 Blackwell GPUs to Humain. ^[7]
• AMD: Committed to a $10 billion investment in joint AI infrastructure projects. ^[7]
• Qualcomm: Signed a memorandum of understanding to co-develop a central processor data center with Humain. ^[7]
