On 13th May 2025, US President Donald Trump and an entourage of US CEOs such as Jensen Huang, Arvind Krishna, Andy Jassy, Lisa Su, Alex Karp, Travis Kalanick, Jane Fraser and Elon Musk visited the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Its Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman took this opportunity to announce ambitious plans to establish the kingdom as a world leader in AI. This included the launch of the government-backed AI company Humain and partnerships with Amazon, AMD and NVIDIA to build an AI Zone. The entry of SpaceX's Starlink and Tesla's robotaxis into Saudi Arabia was also discussed.
