Summary
One of the first two data centres of HUMAIN, the Public Investment Fund's AI company, under construction in Dammam in the Eastern Province as of August 2025. HUMAIN's chief executive said each of the two initial sites, in Riyadh and Dammam, would open with up to 100 MW, using US chips including NVIDIA's latest accelerators, with launch targeted for the second quarter of 2026 (headlines said early 2026). The sources reviewed give no district, building details or investment figure, and no later progress report was found.

Evidence
Sources are linked, not redistributed; each keeps its own terms. An archived copy is a lookup for the Wayback Machine capture nearest the retrieval date and may be unavailable or differ from what was reviewed. Each hash states what it covers; imported factual records are not publisher-page captures.
