Saudi Arabia’s new artificial intelligence company, Humain, has broken ground on its first data centers in the kingdom and plans to have them up and running in early 2026 with the use of semiconductors imported from the US.

Locations in the capital of Riyadh and the Eastern Province’s Dammam are expected to launch in the second quarter, with an initial capacity of as much as 100 megawatts each, according to Chief Executive Officer Tareq Amin.
