In an interview at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) in Riyadh on October 28th, Humane CEO Tark Amin emphasized the company's strict stance on technology procurement. Amin explicitly stated that Humane will not purchase chips or equipment from Huawei—a Chinese telecom giant with deep ties to Beijing's military and security apparatus—due to significant issues related to product inefficiency, security concerns, and software ecosystem incompatibility. He assured US officials that Humane has developed a transparency-focused supply chain that excludes Huawei products, a move seen as a strategic gesture of loyalty towards US interests.
