Trump’s trip to the Middle Eastern nations reveals a partnership – a helping hand to boost Saudi Arabia’s position in the AI race.
NVIDIA, the US chipmaker, has entered into a strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia’s AI startup, Humain.
“Together with Humain, we are building AI infrastructure for the people and companies of Saudi Arabia to realize the bold vision of the Kingdom.”
– Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVIDIA
Saudi Arabia actively depends on foreign investment to advance their AI efforts and strengthen its technological infrastructure, especially cloud computing. This partnership is a significant step towards accelerating Saudi Arabia’s attempt to enter a crucial segment of the ongoing AI race.
With the help of NVIDIA’s GB300 Blackwell chips, the kingdom will be able to enhance its AI capacity. And this begins with building a 500 megawatt data center, as asserted by the Saudi-US Investment Forum.
These chips, as of yet, are NVIDIA’s most advanced chips and were launched only earlier this year. With these in hand, Saudi Arabia could majorly boost its efforts and improve its position within the AI economy.
Will this turn into reality? What’s the duration afforded to the project, and other nitty-gritty details remain uncertain. But this step is still a promising one for the kingdom.
