HUMAIN CEO Tareq Amin told Semafor that the company's global AI venture capital fund will launch this year and could be even larger than the $10 billion vehicle it had planned. Amin said the fund will be active rather than passive, with offices in the United States, Saudi Arabia, France and the United Kingdom. It will favor companies that commit to using Saudi data centers or relocating staff to the Kingdom. Final size and launch date were not disclosed.

## Key figures
