Jeff Bezos' Amazon announced a deal with Mohammed bin Salman's AI company, Humain, to build an 'AI Zone' in Saudi Arabia, spending over $5 billion in the process.
In 2018, Jamal Khashoggi, a writer for the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post, was killed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman with his body never being found.
The deal with MBS's AI company comes over six years after the killing of Khashoggi, raising questions about the ethics of partnering with a ruler involved in a journalist's murder.
Saudi investments in the tech industry have been common, including with startups through the Public Investment Fund, despite concerns over the morality of accepting such funding.
