Summary

Tareq Amin is the Chief Executive Officer of Humain, a Saudi artificial intelligence company launched on May 12, 2025, under the Public Investment Fund. His leadership at Humain is central to Saudi Arabia's ambition to become a global AI and technology superpower, aligning with the nation's Vision 2030 plan. Amin's strategy involves addressing the regional deficit in AI infrastructure, leveraging Saudi Arabia's energy advantages and talent pool, and developing proprietary foundational models like the Arabic-first "humane chat" and enterprise solutions such as "humane one." A key aspect of this vision is fostering a strong US-Saudi AI Alliance through partnerships with major US tech companies like AMD, Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Grok, particularly in AI inferencing, which is also seen as a strategic countermeasure to China's technological advancements. While collaborating with global hyperscalers such as AWS and Google, Humain also aims to establish itself as a robust regional alternative.
