On Nvidia’s latest earnings call, CEO Jensen Huang name-checked some of the customers driving the AI chip company’s surging revenues. That included the big three cloud providers—Amazon, Microsoft, and Google—as well as the best-known AI startups, OpenAI, Anthropic and Elon Musk’s xAI. But it also included a lesser-known Saudi Arabian startup, Humain, that got not one but three shout outs in Huang’s comments.
Humain is barely six months old, but it is rapidly becoming a major force in the global build out of AI infrastructure. Founded by Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and backed by the nation’s $1 trillion sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund, Humain has ambitions to supply 6% of the world’s AI computing power by 2034, which would make it the world’s third largest AI data center provider behind the U.S. and China.
