Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Humain, a Saudi Arabian AI firm backed by Mohammed bin Salman and funded by the Public Investment Fund, have announced a strategic partnership to invest over $5 billion in AI innovation. This collaboration aims to establish an 'AI Zone' in Saudi Arabia, which will include dedicated AWS AI infrastructure, servers, networks, and training and certification programs to support AI startups.

The partnership was revealed at the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum, highlighting a significant commitment to fostering AI development. The AI Zone is expected to bring innovative capabilities to Saudi Arabia, enhancing the country's AI ecosystem. AWS joins tech giants Nvidia and AMD in partnering with Humain. Additionally, Amazon has committed around $5.3 billion to develop an AWS region in the kingdom, scheduled to come online in 2026, separate from the AI Zone investment.
