AWS Partners with Saudi Arabias Humain for AI Push - Amazon is partnering with Humain, an AI company supported by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, to invest over $5 billion in developing an AI Zone in Saudi Arabia. This collaboration will include AWS AI infrastructure and training programs, reflecting Amazon's previous commitment to establish a $5.3 billion AWS region in the kingdom by 2026.
This initiative aligns with Saudi policies requiring local data storage, which has drawn tech giants such as Google and Oracle to expand in the region. The partnership further supports Saudi Arabia's technological growth and investment strategies, enhancing its appeal as a hub for global technology companies.
