Saudi Arabia's Strategic Move in AI and Global Geopolitics

Humane's Ambition to Become a Leading AI Power

Saudi Arabia's burgeoning artificial intelligence startup, Humane, aims to secure its position as the world's third-largest provider of AI computing power. Established in May 2025 and fully owned by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), Humane is ambitiously building a colossal 1.9 gigawatt data center by 2030—an infrastructure surpassing 1.5 times the capacity of Amazon Web Services (AWS). This initiative underscores Saudi Arabia's broader vision of transforming its economy through technological innovation, aligning with its Vision 2030 strategy aimed at economic diversification and societal modernization.
