Saudi's new AI initiative "Humain"
Earlier today, Donald Trump announced $600 billion in AI and defense deals with Saudi Arabia. Headlining the pact, Saudi Arabia’s new state-owned AI company, Humain, will deploy 18,000 of Nvidia’s latest Blackwell servers, tens of billions of dollars worth of chips, over five years, making it one of the largest single AI-chip orders ever. AMD is co-investing up to $10 billion, and Amazon pledged $5 billion toward data-center infrastructure. Nvidia shares jumped 5.6% on the news, with AMD up 4% and Amazon rising 1.3%.
The announcements came at a high-profile investment forum in Riyadh attended by Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Sam Altman, and top financiers like Stephen Schwarzman and Larry Fink. Notably, the Trump administration has just reversed a Biden-era rule that would have restricted Saudi access to advanced US AI chips, clearing the way for Humain’s massive order.

Attorney fined for submitting AI-generated legal brief
A California judge has fined two law firms $31,000 after discovering they submitted a legal brief filled with fake citations generated by AI. U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Wilner sharply criticized the attorneys for relying on artificial intelligence tools to conduct legal research without proper verification or disclosure, stating that “no reasonably competent attorney” would delegate legal research to AI and blindly trust the results. The case involved a civil dispute against State Farm, and the problematic brief originated from an AI-generated outline created using Google Gemini and Westlaw Precision’s AI tools. That outline was passed along to K&L Gates, a separate firm that incorporated fictitious cases into the filing without checking their authenticity.
Initially, the citations appeared convincing enough that Judge Wilner said he nearly relied on them to draft a court order. But when he attempted to verify the sources, he discovered that several of the cases simply didn’t exist. Even worse, after the court raised concerns, a revised brief submitted by the firms included additional fabricated quotes and authorities. The lawyers later admitted to using AI to prepare portions of the filing, but only after the court demanded an explanation and pointed out the inconsistencies.
