U.S. Set to Approve AI Chip Sales to Saudi Firm Humain, Boosting NVIDIA and AMD

Deep News11-19

The U.S. is poised to approve the first batch of advanced AI chip sales to Saudi Arabia's artificial intelligence company Humain, marking a win for the state-backed firm as Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman meets with U.S. President Donald Trump.

Sources indicate the approval is expected to be part of a broader AI agreement between Washington and Riyadh, which could be finalized as early as this week. The deal includes favorable U.S. consideration for Saudi Arabia's requests to import a negotiated quantity of AI chips. Since 2023, Saudi Arabia has required U.S. approval for such purchases.

"We are working on it," President Trump told reporters during Tuesday's Oval Office meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, describing the deal as involving "a certain number of chips."

One source revealed that the approved shipment could include tens of thousands of chips but declined to provide further details.

The authorization would benefit some of the world's largest semiconductor companies, including NVIDIA and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), as they expand into the Middle Eastern market. Humain CEO Tareq Amin stated last month that the company plans to deploy up to 400,000 AI chips by 2030.
