Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: Saudi Arabia’s new artificial intelligence (AI) company, HUMAIN, signed a landmark agreement with AMD, the US-based technology company, to build the world’s most open, scalable, resilient, and cost-efficient AI infrastructure.

As part of this agreement, both parties will invest up to $10 billion to deploy 500 megawatts of AI compute capacity over the next five years, AMD announced in a press release yesterday.

The AI superstructure built by AMD and HUMAIN will enhance the future of global intelligence through a network of AMD-based AI computing centers stretching from Saudi Arabia to the US. It will be open by design, accessible at scale, and optimized to power AI workloads across enterprise, startup, and sovereign markets.

HUMAIN will oversee end-to-end delivery, including hyperscale data centers, sustainable power systems, and global fiber interconnects, while AMD will provide the full spectrum of the AMD AI compute portfolio and the AMD ROCm™ open software ecosystem.

Commenting on the agreement, Tareq Amin, CEO of HUMAIN, said: “This is not just another infrastructure play, it’s an open invitation to the world’s innovators. We are democratizing AI at the compute level, ensuring that access to advanced AI is limited only by imagination, not by infrastructure.”

For his part, Lisa Su, Chairman and CEO of AMD, affirmed that the investment with HUMAIN represents a significant milestone in advancing global AI infrastructure. “Together, we are building a globally significant AI platform that delivers performance, openness, and reach at unprecedented levels,” he said.

With initial deployments already underway across key global regions, the collaboration is on track to activate multi-exaflop capacity by early 2026, supported by next-gen AI silicon, modular data center zones, and a developer-enabling software platform stack built around open standards and interoperability.
