Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is an American technology company offering e-commerce, cloud computing, and other services, including digital streaming and artificial intelligence solutions. On May 13, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and HUMAIN, Saudi Arabia’s newly created AI startup, announced plans to invest $5 billion-plus in a strategic partnership to build an “AI Zone” in the country. The AI Zone will comprise dedicated AWS AI infrastructure and servers with world-class semiconductors, UltraCluster networks for faster AI training and inference, AWS services, and AI application services that will help Saudi Arabia become a leading force in the realm of artificial intelligence.

AWS is presently building an AWS infrastructure region in Saudi Arabia, set to become available in 2026, where Amazon is investing US$5.3 billion to develop this new region. Meanwhile, the newly announced AI Zone is an additional investment made in the Kingdom. The collaboration will allow HUMAIN to develop AI solutions using AWS technologies and also partner with AWS on the development of a unified AI agent marketplace. The agreement is set to boost Large Language Models (LLMs), including Arabic Large Language Models (ALLaM), which will allow organizations and industries to adopt artificial intelligence widely.

“This collaboration to build an AI Zone in Saudi Arabia will enable innovations across all industries using AWS’s advanced AI offerings, and reflects our commitment to support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. Together, we will empower customers with cost-effective and secure cloud technologies, fuel innovation and economic growth across the nation, and enable HUMAIN to appeal to customers globally.”

-Matt Garman, CEO, Amazon Web Services.
