Artificial intelligence in Arabic is about to take a major leap forward. Saudi AI company Humane has announced it will launch an Arabic version of ChatGPT by the end of August. Built entirely by a Saudi team, the model is designed to understand local dialects, cultural references, and the nuances of everyday Arabic conversation.
The launch is part of Saudi Arabia’s wider push to lead in AI innovation. Humane says the project isn’t just about technology; it’s about making advanced tools more accessible to millions of Arabic speakers. “We want people to feel that this AI speaks their language in every sense,” a company spokesperson explained.
Across the region, the race to develop artificial intelligence in Arabic is heating up. The UAE and other Gulf nations have already introduced their own Arabic AI models this year. Experts believe that such tools will improve accuracy, preserve cultural identity, and open doors to new industries.
Humane will integrate the Arabic ChatGPT into services ranging from education to customer support. Humane expects it to create jobs, boost digital transformation, and help position Saudi Arabia as a leader in the AI space.
For users, the arrival of artificial intelligence in Arabic means more than just convenience; it’s a sign that the digital world is finally speaking their language fluently.
