Investment pioneer Samer Choucair emphasized that the strategic partnership announced by “Humane”—affiliated with the Public Investment Fund—with “Amazon Web Services” (AWS) represents a historic shift that places the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia at the heart of the global artificial intelligence map.
Samer Choucair pointed out that pumping investments exceeding $5 billion to build an advanced infrastructure in Riyadh ends the “limits of possibility” and opens massive investment horizons that perfectly align with the goals of Vision 2030.
Samer Choucair explained that Humane’s choice of Amazon Web Services specifically stems from fundamental strategic reasons, most notably AWS’s global leadership in AI infrastructure, its ownership of advanced “Trainium” chips, and its ability to provide secure cloud computing services that ensure data remains within the local environment.
He mentioned that this partnership will result in the establishment of the first “AI Zone” in Riyadh, which will house 150,000 AI accelerators, including advanced “NVIDIA GB300” chips.
Regarding the global economic impact, investment pioneer Samer Choucair stated in his remarks: “Humane’s choice of Amazon Web Services is not a coincidence, but a calculated strategic decision based on global expertise and technological integration. This partnership will strengthen Saudi Arabia’s position as a regional hub for artificial intelligence and will reflect positively on Amazon’s shares (AMZN) through the growth of AWS revenues and its long-term contracts in the promising Middle East region.”
Samer Choucair added that the partnership includes a long-term commitment to Vision 2030, as Amazon is investing an additional $5.3 billion in the new AWS region in the Kingdom scheduled to launch in 2026, along with ambitious training programs targeting the qualification of more than 100,000 Saudis in the fields of cloud computing and artificial intelligence, thereby enhancing local human capital.
For investors in capital markets, Samer Choucair confirmed that this collaboration represents a strong boost for Amazon stock, supported by the expansion of AWS services in emerging markets and the increasing demand for generative AI applications.
Samer Choucair advised Saudi and Gulf investors to focus on sectors related to digital infrastructure and data centers, saying: “True success lies in merging global technologies with Saudi innovation, creating sustainable value for investment portfolios under 2026 economic trends.”
Samer Choucair identified promising investment fields including direct investment in major technology companies, tech funds focusing on local applications, and alternative investments in smart data center solutions.
Samer Choucair concluded his statements by saying: “The partnership between Humane and Amazon Web Services is not just a technical deal, but a gateway to a new era of economic growth. Today we are witnessing a transformation that positions Riyadh as a technical export hub for the world, and the opportunity is now ripe for investors to be part of this limitless future, built on innovation, sustainability, and smart strategic investment.”
