Bloomberg: The Emirati "M42" is committed to technological neutrality while deepening its US relationships

The managing director of the company “M42” (M42), an investment authority in Abu Dhabi, focuses on the intersection between healthcare and artificial intelligence, said the company is ready to adopt any appropriate technology, regardless of whether it is American or Chinese, but that it is committed to deepening the relationship with Washington. “We are completely neutral about the kind of technology we adopt, but due to collaboration between the UAE and the United States, specifically Abu Dhabi, the decision was made to continue with the work and relationship with Washington,” said Hassan Jassim Al -Nuwais, managing director of the company, at an event in Dubai. The efforts of the UAE business “M42” were founded in 2022 “M42” by the prominent G42 healthcare assets (G42) for artificial intelligence in Abu Dhabi, and the “Mubadala” Sovereign Wealth Fund, which is valued at $ 330 billion. The company has partnerships with companies such as “Illumina”, which specialize in genetics, to improve the emirate’s efforts in the emerging field to use artificial intelligence instruments to diagnose diseases or to discover new medication. “Things will keep changing and developing … if the thing is suitable for us, we will assume it … it’s so simple.” Hassan Jassim Al -Nuwais, managing director of the Emirati company “M42”, comes from the remarks of Nuis in the aftermath of the decline in global markets to the launch of the new artificial intelligence model of Deepseek, which revealed the limited restrictions that were revealed by the United States on the export of technology. The success of the Chinese company raised questions about the scope of US technological dominance, and doubts about the high judgments of companies such as “Inviteia”. Last April, G42 received a $ 1.5 billion investment from Microsoft after agreed to abandon China’s handling and moving to US technology. However, the administration of former US President Joe Biden suggested that they impose restrictions on the export of advanced chips in different countries, including the UAE. Al -Nuwais, suitable for the Emirates under the new US administration, said: “Things will keep changing and developing. If the thing is suitable for us, we will adopt it … it’s so simple.” Emirate president Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed met with Donald Trump last year during his visit to the United States, where discussions focused on artificial intelligence.

We have the abilities and abilities needed on the ground to expand it.”
