HUMAIN, a PIF company delivering full-stack artificial intelligence capabilities globally, recently announced the launch of HUMAIN+, introducing a new approach to applied AI education designed to transform AI awareness into practical capability and empower individuals and organizations to build, deploy, and apply artificial intelligence to real-world challenges.
The launch was marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony at HUMAIN’s headquarters in Riyadh, formally inaugurating the HUMAIN+ learning center and showcasing the program, which combines practical AI education with digital content and immersive experiences. HUMAIN+ advances HUMAIN’s vision for applied AI education through role-based learning, sector-specific labs, hands-on product development and competency-based assessments and certificates of completion to help organizations move beyond experimentation towards practical adoption and deployment.
Located in HUMAINโs offices in Majdoul Tower, the HUMAIN+ learning center will offer a dedicated environment for learning, experimentation and collaboration, with programs tailored to different levels of expertise. From executives shaping AI strategy and investment decisions to professionals integrating AI into daily operations, developers building AI-powered solutions, specialists advancing emerging technologies, and infrastructure experts powering AI at scale, the initiative aims to equip learners with the knowledge and practical skills needed to thrive in an AI-driven future.
At the heart of this approach is a sector-specific, practical learning model built around a clear vision: moving beyond learning about AI to building with it, and measuring success by what people can put into practice. Rather than measuring success through attendance and certificates alone, participants will work on relevant business and sector challenges, develop working prototypes and AI solutions, and demonstrate their capabilities through evidence of applied work using HUMAIN’s AI products and infrastructure.
โIn the age of AI, one of the most important investments we can make is in people and the skills they will need for the future,โ said Tareq Amin, Chief Executive Officer of HUMAIN. โTechnology will continue to evolve at an extraordinary pace, and we have a responsibility to ensure that people have the practical knowledge, experience and confidence to evolve with it. Through HUMAIN+, we are connecting our full-stack AI capabilities with hands-on learning, empowering leaders to make better decisions, professionals to transform how they work, and builders to turn ideas into real solutions. This is about more than preparing people for the future of AI. It is about future-proofing our talent, creating opportunities for generations to come, and building a lasting legacy of human capability alongside technological progress.โ
Turning AI Knowledge into Practical Capability
HUMAIN+ will offer structured learning journeys combining foundational AI knowledge with hands-on application, enabling participants to develop skills relevant to their roles and industries. Its four learning journeys will address leadership, non-technical professionals, technical talent and students, with pathways ranging from AI strategy, governance and productivity to product development, agentic AI, security and infrastructure operations.
Sector-specific labs will connect learning directly to real-world challenges across government, finance, healthcare, energy and industry, education, tourism, logistics and supply chain, legal and compliance, human resources, and sport. Participants will work through a structured process of identifying challenges, designing use cases, building prototypes, validating solutions and demonstrating results.
The learning experience will integrate HUMAIN’s own AI ecosystem, enabling participants to work with HUMAIN platforms, models and infrastructure. Its AI-native approach will combine campus-based instruction, self-paced digital learning supported by an ALLAM-powered tutor, and immersive experiences designed to deepen understanding through practical engagement. โHUMAIN+ is designed around a fundamental question: what can a learner actually build, improve or deploy as a result of their experience?โ said Mubashir Malik, Head of HUMAIN+. โWe are bringing learning into the context of real work, with programs shaped around industry challenges and practical outcomes. By connecting learners directly with HUMAIN’s technology stack and the people building it, we aim to develop capabilities that organizations can use, from improving everyday workflows to creating new AI products and solutions. At the same time, we want to help people.
