It comes at a time when Saudi Arabia is making big investments in tech, aiming to diversify its economy as part of its Vision 2030 plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAI, like electricity and the internet, is essential infrastructure for every nation,\u201d said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. He called the project with Humain a big step forward in helping Saudi Arabia become a major player in AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"U.S. &amp; Saudi Arabia Tech Partnerships Boost NVDA, Other A.I.

This deal puts Saudi Arabia on track to become one of the biggest AI hubs outside the U.S. and China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. recently relaxed some restrictions on exporting advanced AI chips, making deals like this one possible. That\u2019s significant, especially given past concerns about where powerful AI hardware ends up. Following the announcement, Nvidia\u2019s stock jumped over 5%, boosting the company\u2019s market value back above $3 trillion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the global race for AI leadership heats up, this partnership shows how countries like Saudi Arabia are willing to invest big to stay competitive\u2014and how companies like Nvidia are ready to supply the tools to make it happen.
