HUMAIN: The Power of Saudi AI into the Future

In a world witnessing a frenetic race toward a digital future, Saudi Arabia is taking bold steps that reflect a vision as ambitious as it is far-reaching. At the heart of this transformation is the launch of HUMAIN , a pioneering national initiative that signals the Kingdom’s serious intent to become a global leader in artificial intelligence.

A National Project with a Global Vision

HUMAIN is not just another tech company joining the ranks of startups. It is a national project, established under the auspices of the Public Investment Fund and driven by Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. Designed as a comprehensive platform, HUMAIN aims to develop and deploy AI technologies at the local, regional, and global levels. Rather than merely importing technology, Saudi Arabia is determined to be an active participant in its creation—building advanced Arabic language models, developing cutting-edge digital infrastructure, and forging smart partnerships with global tech giants.

Goals Beyond Numbers

HUMAIN’s ambitions extend far beyond impressive investment figures. It seeks to bring about real change in society and the economy. The company is committed to empowering local talent through specialized training and qualification programs, creating high-value job opportunities in AI and information technology. Moreover, it aims to improve quality of life by streamlining government and private services and boosting productivity across vital sectors—from healthcare and energy to industry and finance.

Tangible Impact on Society and Economy

Today, Saudi citizens take pride in seeing their country advance on the global innovation map. The launch of HUMAIN is not just a technological milestone; it is a clear message that Saudi Arabia is not content to follow the future—it wants to shape it. AI is expected to add billions to the Saudi economy, generate new employment opportunities, and help build a knowledge-based, innovative society.

A Prosperous Future

Ultimately, the launch of HUMAIN marks a qualitative leap in Saudi Arabia’s journey, placing it on the path to technological leadership. This step reflects the leadership’s faith in the ability of Saudi youth to shape the future and reaffirms the Kingdom’s commitment to building a strong economy and a smart society, capable of confidently facing the challenges of the digital age. HUMAIN is not just a company—it is a promise of a brighter, smarter, and more prosperous future.

In conclusion, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my beloved country, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for providing us with opportunities and trust to build a prosperous future. I would also like to especially thank His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for his unwavering support for innovation and digital transformation, and for his inspiring leadership that places the Kingdom among the world’s leading nations.
