Saudi AI company HUMAIN and Riyadh video firm VUZ have unveiled HUMAIN+, an immersive AI learning platform with sessions delivered online and in person.
According to a PR Newswire release issued on 11 November, HUMAIN+ debuted publicly with a first showcase of its flagship immersive learning experience. The partners say the AI-driven sessions go beyond traditional online learning. They’re delivered both virtually and in person, and they let people experience AI concepts, demonstrations, and real-world applications. The release says HUMAIN+ is aimed at leaders, professionals, faculty, and future innovators, and that it should help accelerate AI adoption across Saudi Arabia and globally.
HUMAIN is a PIF company. PIF, Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, launched HUMAIN in May 2025 to cover data centres, cloud platforms, and AI models. Tbreak reported that Aramco bought 49% of the company for $2.6bn (SAR 9.9bn) in cash, leaving PIF with the other 51%. Its earlier products, such as the Horizon Pro hardware and agentic platform, were built for enterprises.
HUMAIN’s chief executive, Tareq Amin, framed the partnership around how people learn.
AI is changing how the world works, and it should fundamentally change how the world learns.

VUZ, formerly known as 360VUZ, is a Riyadh-headquartered immersive video company. It holds two US patents in immersive capture, streaming, and playback, and it delivers immersive video across education, entertainment, sports, and government. TechCrunch reported that VUZ raised $12 million in May 2025 in a round led by the International Finance Corporation, a World Bank Group member. The platform had passed 15 million users by then, up from 10 million in 2022.
VUZ’s founder and CEO, Khaled Zaatarah, says the company is building a platform that brings immersive experiences to people everywhere, at global scale.
The release gives no price, sign-up route, or start date, but says HUMAIN+ will be available in the next few months. It doesn’t say who the teachers are or where the in-person sessions take place. It’s unclear whether features from VUZ’s existing app will carry over, and the release doesn’t say whether the platform will be open to the public or to companies.
For a company that started out with data centres and enterprise tools, HUMAIN+ is a different kind of bet: AI taught through video that’s built to feel immersive.
