  "account": "Saudi-based AI startup Humain is preparing for an initial public offering (IPO) and launching a $2.5 billion fund to support its expansion initiatives. The company's CEO, Tareq Amin, announced plans to potentially list on both the Saudi Arabian market and the New York Stock Exchange by 2029. Additionally, Humain aims to raise a $2.5 billion fund to finance a data center expansion across the kingdom in collaboration with Al Moammar Information Systems. This endeavor could lead to a capacity of 250 megawatts (MW) that could potentially expand to up to 1 gigawatt (GW) in the future. The development of these data centers is part of an effort to address the Saudi Public Investment Fund's (PIF) recent focus on reducing capital spending in their portfolio companies. Humain's plans for an IPO come at a time when many Saudi companies are hesitant to list their shares due to market volatility and concerns over weak demand stemming from the U.S.-Iran conflict.",
