Saudi Arabia plans to deepen cooperation with American tech giants and invest heavily in building multiple gigawatt-level data centers.
Golden Finance reports that, according to the American financial media Semafor, the artificial intelligence company Humain, supported by the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund, plans to announce a series of new agreements with American companies tomorrow, as the country is planning to invest billions of dollars in a program aimed at becoming the world's third-largest artificial intelligence nation. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that Humain is planning to collaborate with companies including Amazon, AMD, xAI, and GlobalAI to announce the construction of multiple gigawatt-level data centers. According to the sources, these agreements are expected to follow the approval of the sale of a large amount of semiconductors to Saudi Arabia by the United States. It remains unclear how many of these agreements are new and substantial, or merely indicators of progress on agreements announced during U.S. President Trump’s visit to Riyadh in May. Humain's CEO Tareq Amin previously stated that he expects the first batch of numbers to be in early 2026.
