LONDON: Saudi company Humain has announced a partnership with US artificial intelligence company Turing to build what the two companies describe as the first marketplace for enterprise-grade AI agents, in a deal unveiled at the FII Priority summit in Miami on Thursday.
The marketplace, to be hosted on Humain’s platform Humain One, is designed to allow companies to “discover, deploy and scale” AI agents — software systems capable of autonomously executing tasks — across business functions including HR, finance, legal, operations and procurement.
“The SaaS era transformed productivity, but the next chapter is agentic — where software executes workflows instead of only supporting them,” said Tareq Amin, CEO of Humain. “Humain One is our vision for the enterprise operating system of the AI era.”
Humain, which is backed by the Public Investment Fund, will contribute its AI infrastructure and model orchestration capabilities to the venture, while Turing — a Palo Alto-based company specializing in AI model development and deployment — will bring expertise in model evaluation, fine-tuning and reasoning systems.
The two companies said the platform would also allow third-party developers to publish and sell AI agents through a shared marketplace, effectively creating a new commercial layer for the emerging AI agent economy.
Turing will be the first US-based customer of Humain One, a detail both companies flagged as significant, positioning Saudi Arabia not merely as a consumer of AI technology, but as an exporter of it.
Jonathan Siddharth, CEO and co-founder of Turing, said the marketplace represented a concrete step toward making advanced AI “economically transformative,” adding that the partnership would help accelerate AI deployment in Saudi Arabia and internationally.
The announcement is the latest sign of Saudi Arabia’s accelerating push to establish itself as a global hub for artificial intelligence, with the PIF channelling significant capital into AI infrastructure and platforms as part of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 diversification drive.
