Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) and Aramco announced plans to combine their artificial intelligence (AI) programs through HUMAIN, a PIF-owned company, to strengthen the kingdom’s position as a global AI leader. Under a newly signed non-binding term sheet, Aramco will acquire a significant minority stake in HUMAIN, while both parties contribute AI assets, expertise, and talent. PIF will retain majority ownership.

Nasser noted that the collaboration would boost industrial AI innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.

Completion of the deal remains subject to regulatory approvals and final agreements.
