Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced the launch of “Humaine,” a new artificial intelligence company owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), with the goal of accelerating AI development and investment across the Kingdom and globally.
The new firm will lead efforts to design and deploy advanced AI technologies and solutions, including one of the most sophisticated Arabic-language large language models (LLMs).
According to the Saudi Press Agency, Humaine will also focus on next-generation data centers and cutting-edge cloud infrastructure.
As Chairman of Humaine’s board, the Crown Prince highlighted that the company aims to drive innovation in the digital economy and help Saudi Arabia build its capabilities in AI application development and global competitiveness.
Humaine will operate across local, regional, and international markets, strengthening Saudi Arabia’s strategic role in the global tech ecosystem.
The launch of Humaine comes as part of the PIF’s wider strategy to invest in the AI sector, including international partnerships and major infrastructure projects.
Saudi Arabia's strategic location gives it an edge in enabling high-speed data transfer and connecting global networks.
The Kingdom’s growing economy and its youthful, tech-savvy population are also driving AI research, innovation, and workforce development. These advantages align with PIF’s broader mission to support national economic diversification and position Saudi Arabia as a leader in advanced technologies.
Saudi Arabia ranked first globally for its government AI strategy on the 2024 Global AI Index, underlining the Kingdom’s commitment to becoming a key player in the global AI space.
Humaine will play a central role in coordinating AI initiatives across strategic sectors such as energy, healthcare, finance, and industry.
The company will also prioritize local development, intellectual property ownership, and integrated digital solutions that support the Kingdom’s data and AI ambitions.
