UAE Views Trump as Key Partner in Push to Become AI Powerhouse
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates ― The United Arab Emirates is betting big on artificial intelligence ― and sees President Donald Trump as its champion.
In Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is investing heavily in artificial intelligence (AI) and sees former President Donald Trump as a major supporter of its efforts to become an AI powerhouse. Trump's 2021 agreement with the UAE to create a $30 billion, five-gigawatt AI campus was viewed as a major success by the nation, positioning it to become a global AI leader.
However, the Biden administration has imposed restrictions on the flow of sensitive US technology to certain countries, including the UAE, limiting its AI ambitions. The Trump administration, on the other hand, made it easier for the UAE to access American AI chips, a move seen as a reward for cooperation in the war against Iran.
The UAE's fate in the global AI competition with the US and China, as well as the nations that benefit the most from the lucrative sector, will be determined by these developments.
