Move to increase AI accessibility for Saudi Arabia-based enterprises
AMD and HUMAIN, a PIF company delivering global full-stack AI solutions, have launched a new ‘AI in a Box’ solution for enterprise users across Saudi Arabia. The turnkey solution for entry-level use-cases brings accessible AI compute to organizations across industries including oil and gas, financial services and manufacturing.
Built by HUMAIN and leveraging high-performance AMD Instinct GPUs and energy-efficient AMD EPYC CPUs, “AI in a Box” lets organizations begin deploying AI, test new use cases and expand access to AI tools for employees.
Collaboration
“Together with HUMAIN, we are expanding our collaboration to bring advanced computing capabilities to more companies across Saudi Arabia and give them the opportunity to innovate and grow in the AI era,” observed Dr. Lisa Su, Chair and CEO, AMD.
“With AI in a Box, HUMAIN and AMD are taking advanced computing capability and making it practical for enterprises that do not need to begin with hyperscale infrastructure. Start with a workload. Prove the value. Scale from there. We want to make the path from the first AI use case to enterprise-scale deployment dramatically simpler,” emphasized Tareq Amin, CEO, HUMAIN.
The launch builds on the strategic collaboration between AMD and HUMAIN to invest up to US$ 10bn to support AI infrastructure initiatives. Through a joint venture, AMD, HUMAIN and Cisco have also planned to deploy up to 1 GW of AI infrastructure in Saudi Arabia by 2030.
