Saudi Arabia-backed artificial intelligence company Humain has picked Goldman Sachs to advise on a financing package to build data centres in the kingdom that ‌could be worth at least 20 billion riyals, two sources with knowledge of the matter ‌told Reuters, as the firm races to expand capacity amid a regional AI push. The move illustrates how Saudi Arabia, like Gulf neighbours ​Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, is accelerating its AI build-out to capitalise on surging global demand for computing power.

Nvidia is expected to deliver another blockbuster earnings report on Wednesday, but a shift in how artificial intelligence is used is raising doubts on how long its dominance in AI chips ‌can last. After years of near-monopoly in chips used to train AI systems, Nvidia is facing competition from tech giants building their ‌own chips to capture demand that is shifting toward processors that run AI systems, respond to queries and carry out tasks in real time. This so-called inference market is ​much larger, but also more contested.
