Abu Dhabi's ADNOC, G42 sign deal with OpenAI as Sam Altman travels to UAE
Abu Dhabi's energy firm ADNOC and AI company G42 have agreed to a partnership with OpenAI, according to the Abu Dhabi Media Office. This agreement allows ADNOC to incorporate sophisticated AI technology into its operations. The partnership announcement coincided with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's visit to Abu Dhabi, where he met with the Crown Prince, Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and participated in the UAE's largest oil exhibition, ADIPEC.
ExxonMobil and Chevron had recently decided to cancel executives' trips to the event due to security concerns, primarily fueled by fears of fresh US attacks on Iran and potential retaliation from Tehran. These tensions have recently unsettled oil markets, despite US President Donald Trump's assertion that he would not launch an attack on Iran before the November 3 midterm elections, although he later suggested the possibility of another military operation against Iran.
