Saudi Arabia’s artificial intelligence company Humain will release an Arabic-language version of ChatGPT by the end of August, CEO Tareq Amin announced.
Amin noted that the model was developed entirely by a Saudi team, according to Gulf News.
The CEO also stated that the Public Investment Fund–backed company seeks to reach a valuation comparable to the world’s top AI firms, during a TV interview.
In line with the Saudi Vision 2030, Humain aims also to leave a global mark on the AI sector, contribute significantly to the diversification of the Kingdom’s economy, as well as build advanced digital infrastructure.
“Humain was created to lead this transformation by building a modern technological foundation that boosts GDP, localizes technology, and empowers Saudi talent,” Amin said.
Humain’s Ambitious Agenda
Through an ambitious agenda, the company pursues to cut the Kingdom’s oil dependency, create knowledge-based economy and build AI infrastructure from scratch.
“Humain reflects Saudi Arabia’s ambition to be, in AI, what it is in oil and energy, a global leader,” he added.
In this regard, the CEO stressed the strategic significance of data localization, underscoring that recent investments by AWS and Microsoft have paved the way for large-scale data centers to be built inside the Kingdom.
Interestingly, the company’s models are designed to cater not only to domestic demand but also to attract a global user base.
Overall, Humain’s ultimate goal is to become one of the world’s top five data center operators and market its AI models worldwide. “We have the talent, the resources, and the drive to get there,” Amin said.
