Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) and Aramco have taken a significant step in the AI sector by agreeing for Aramco to acquire a minority stake in HUMAIN, an artificial intelligence firm predominantly owned by the PIF.

The deal, outlined in a non-binding term sheet, is set to merge the AI assets and expertise of the two powerful entities under HUMAIN's umbrella. This strategic move is aimed at enhancing the company's global expansion and reinforcing Saudi Arabia's role as a frontrunner in AI development.
