HUMAIN's Data Centers in Riyadh and Dammam: Are They Open Yet?
HUMAIN broke ground on twin 100MW data centers in Riyadh and Dammam in August 2025 and committed to going live in Q2 2026. That quarter closed on 30 June. As of 31 July 2026 no announcement, filing or credible report confirms either site is operational, and HUMAIN has twice declined to disclose delivery progress.

On 10 July 2026 the United States moved the UAE into Country Group A:5 and named G42, Core42 and eight American AI companies as approved end users who need no licence for advanced chips. Saudi Arabia got no rule. HUMAIN still buys under a case-by-case authorisation capped at 35,000 accelerators.
