Saudi Arabia’s artificial intelligence company, Humain, plans to go public on both the Saudi and NASDAQ stock exchanges within the next four years, according to its CEO, Tareq Amin. Speaking at the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, Amin described the company’s vision as “massive,” saying a dual listing aligns with Humain’s goal of becoming a global AI powerhouse. He also revealed that one of the firm’s key AI chip suppliers is considering an equity investment, though he declined to identify the potential investor.
Backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), Humain was launched in May as part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s broader Vision 2030 strategy to diversify the kingdom’s economy beyond oil and establish Saudi Arabia as a global hub for advanced technology. The company sources its chips from major industry players such as NVIDIA, AMD, Qualcomm, and Groq to power its large-scale data centers and multi-agent AI platforms.
At the conference, Humain unveiled its first major product — Humain One, an AI-driven computer operating system designed to move beyond traditional icon-based interfaces that have defined computing since the 1980s. Amin described the innovation as “the first true AI operating system” capable of autonomously managing tasks through intelligent agents. The system is already in use across Saudi government institutions and in pilot programs with three PIF-owned entities, with global rollout plans underway.
Humain is also building strategic alliances with global technology leaders. The company currently partners with Google, is finalizing a collaboration with Amazon Web Services, and has held meetings with OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT. These partnerships, combined with its listing ambitions and AI infrastructure investments, underscore Humain’s growing role in positioning Saudi Arabia at the forefront of the global artificial intelligence revolution
