Saudi AI Firm Humain Unveils 6 Gigawatt Data Centre Plan and New AI Operating System

On Monday, Saudi-based AI startup Humain said it will launch Humain 1 this week, a speech-driven OS that CEO Tareq Amin described as 'Now you speak your intent' at the Fortune Global Forum in Riyadh.
Launched in May under the Public Investment Fund and chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Humain is part of Vision 2030 to diversify Saudi Arabia's economy beyond oil.
Tareq Amin said on Monday Humain plans to build approximately 6 gigawatts of data centre capacity and will locate centres where energy is underutilized, moving computation to Saudi Arabia and sending results back.
Jonathan Ross, CEO of Groq, said Saudi Arabia can become a net exporter of data due to its energy surplus and is primed for AI infrastructure while Humain aims to be the first to officially launch its system amid regional deals.
The Middle East's surplus energy and cheap data movement make it attractive for AI compute, and a Humain spokesperson said development began shortly after its May launch with internal payroll and human resources systems testing.
