  "account": "ADNOC, the Abu Dhabi oil giant, has found crucial assistance from AIQ, an artificial intelligence firm, throughout the Iran war. AIQ, which holds ADNOC as its largest customer and shareholder, transitioned from a mere \"nice-to-have\" to an indispensable source of real-time insight into drilling, production, and facilities management, according to AIQ CEO Dennis Jol. The firm's operating system, Genesis, has been rapidly deployed, running large-scale agentic AI across upstream and downstream operations without being tied to any single AI model provider like Anthropic or OpenAI.\n\nAIQ is currently piloting its tools in several energy sectors, including Kuwait, India, Malaysia, and Vietnam. A pilot project in Egypt had predicted a pump failure 45 days in advance, showcasing the potential of AIQ's technology. The firm has made its first hiring in the UK and is considering other locations such as Houston. Additionally, AIQ has identified 100 potential acquisition targets to fuel its growth, as reported by Jol.",
