HUMAIN is Saudi Arabia’s PIF-owned AI infrastructure company, launched on 13 May 2025 to convert land, power, chips, and sovereign capital into a full-stack compute platform. The plan centres on 600,000 NVIDIA GPUs, 211 land plots with access to 14 gigawatts of power, $23 billion in technology agreements, a $3 billion xAI investment, and a 6.6 GW AI compute pipeline by 2034.

Created from the merger of the Saudi Company for Artificial Intelligence (SCAI), SDAIA’s model development team, and elements of Aramco Digital, HUMAIN is led by CEO Tareq Amin. Its mission is to make Saudi Arabia the world’s third-largest AI provider, behind only the United States and China, processing 7 per cent of global AI training and inference by 2030.
