I said, what's the topic?

The topic was

uh ai brainstorming and uh this was the first time i had the opportunity to meet his royal highness and uh muhammad bin salman yeah and let me tell you it was not about brainstorming it was about really addressing what the country needs to do to accelerate to address some of the fragmentation that exists and the idea and the concept of humane is in order for us to really accelerate our development

Let us now bring public and private entity, combines and take AI investments, projects, initiatives, and put them under one umbrella company that is really focused on the entire AI total value chain.

So honestly, in that meeting, I could tell you it took about 10 minutes to come to realization that the opportunity is massive, but we need to really unite the fragmented effort and put our energy

to address the basics.

Yeah, I mean, look, I mean, to start with, as you know, building infrastructure is not necessarily a small task.

So to do this and to participate and to make an impact, you need to be very well funded.

So, you know, even though we call Humane as a startup, but it's actually a very well funded startup.

between our data center segment, our models team, applications, and also our ventures that we will soon have in the United States is a very well-funded company that I'm feeling really comfortable about the opportunities that we could capture between capital, people, talent, and the partnerships.

Well, I think look at it.

In certain areas, we partner really well, and all of them are colleagues and friends.

I mean, I've known the CEOs of these companies really well through my tenure in Japan and India.

But I will tell you, I think many companies do not see the Middle East the way I see it today.

And they don't understand the requirements and the needs of what we have to do to build the depth and the talent.

So I see in certain areas great partnerships.

And in certain other areas, I think that we will be a compelling alternative, but it doesn't mean that we don't partner.

So certainly when you see now the partnerships that we announced with the likes of AWS and Google, clearly I want to see the companies invest in addressing the lack of infrastructure that I saw.

So a portion of what we do today will be built on things with our own technology, and a portion will be done also with partnerships with the hyperscalers.

So a couple of things we have done, and look for people in this audience that have participated in the build of foundation model, you know it's not trivial and it's not easy.
