Elon Musk’s xAI and Jensen Huang-led Nvidia announced Wednesday they are partnering with Saudi Arabia’s state-backed artificial intelligence firm to build a massive AI data center in the Persian Gulf kingdom.

Mr. Musk’s xAI will work with the Saudi artificial intelligence company Humain on a new data center, part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s effort to diversify his kingdom’s economy.

President Donald Trump is expected to make remarks Wednesday at investment summit with Saudi Arabia, after a conversation about the future of AI, energy, and space travel with Elon Musk and Jensen Huang.

Elon Musk and Jensen Huang shared plans to build some of the world’s largest data centers in the Middle East as Mohammed bin Salman continues his visit to the United States.

AI’s partnership with Saudi Arabia’s Humain advances a 500-megawatt data center project and reflects shifting US policy on AI semiconductor access in the Gulf.
