RIYADH — HUMAIN, a wholly owned Public Investment Fund (PIF) company delivering sovereign artificial intelligence capabilities globally, announced on Thursday the official launch of HUMAIN+, an applied artificial intelligence education platform engineered to convert foundational AI awareness into practical engineering and operational capabilities across individuals and enterprises. Marked by a formal inauguration ceremony at HUMAIN’s corporate headquarters inside Majdoul Tower in Riyadh, the initiative blends physical campus instruction, digital coursework, and immersive streaming environments to help organizations transition beyond early experimentation toward scalable production deployment.
Designed to accommodate approximately 1,500 learner places annually once the Riyadh campus becomes fully operational in the first quarter of 2027, the HUMAIN+ learning center features dedicated GPU backed Builder Labs alongside collaborative spaces for technical demonstrations and live project showcases. Moving past traditional attendance metrics and theoretical certifications, the competency based curriculum evaluates participants on applied deliverables, requiring learners to tackle real world business challenges, engineer working prototypes, and validate deployable AI solutions directly upon HUMAIN’s proprietary software platforms, foundation models, and cloud compute infrastructure.
Tareq Amin, Chief Executive Officer of HUMAIN, stated that investing in human capital and practical future skills represents one of the single most vital commitments of the artificial intelligence era as technology evolves at an unprecedented pace. Amin noted that HUMAIN+ bridges the company’s sovereign AI stack directly with experiential learning to empower executives to make sharper strategic investment decisions, enable professionals to modernize daily workflows, and equip technical builders to turn concepts into live enterprise solutions, building a lasting legacy of human capability alongside technological advancement.
Structuring its academic architecture around practical workplace outcomes, HUMAIN+ delivers four specialized learning journeys tailored for executive leadership, non technical professionals, technical talent, and students. Specialized tracks span AI corporate strategy, regulatory governance, workplace productivity, software product engineering, agentic AI, cybersecurity, and high density infrastructure operations. Concurrently, dedicated sector labs anchor training within real operational challenges across ten core verticals, comprising government, financial services, healthcare, energy and industry, education, tourism, logistics and supply chains, legal and compliance, human resources, and sports. The AI native learning model pairs classroom mentorship with self paced digital modules guided by a personalized tutor powered by ALLAM, HUMAIN’s flagship Arabic multimodal large language model.
Mubashir Malik, Head of HUMAIN Academy, explained that the program is built around answering what a participant can tangibly construct, optimize, or deploy in the workplace upon completing their track. Malik emphasized that connecting learners directly with HUMAIN’s live technology stack and engineering teams generates immediate organizational value while demystifying foundational AI mechanics.
Expanding the accessibility and interactivity of its educational content, HUMAIN has also forged a strategic technology partnership with Riyadh headquartered immersive media pioneer VUZ. Combining HUMAIN’s artificial intelligence stack with VUZ’s patented 360 degree immersive video streaming technology, the collaboration enables remote and on site learners to explore interactive AI demonstrations and virtual lab environments. Following an initial live showcase during Thursday’s inauguration in Riyadh, the immersive streaming platform is scheduled to roll out next month, with Khaled Zaatarah, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of VUZ, affirming that uniting spatial video streaming with applied AI education will deliver engaging, hands on technical mastery to learners at scale.
