"Openai" is considering establishing a data center in the Emirates

Openai Study the ability to create a new capacity for a data center in the United Arab Emirates, in a move that will significantly promote the company’s presence in the Middle East, according to people familiar with the matter. The agreement has not yet been resolved and changes have taken place, but this week is expected to be announced in collaboration with the visit of US President Donald Trump to the Middle East, according to the people who asked not to reveal their identity because of the confidentiality of the discussions. Trump will arrive in the Emirates on Thursday. The CEO of “Oben Ai”, Sam Altman, is also in the region as part of a broader round in which a number of technological sector leaders participate. ‘Oben Ai’ refuses to comment on the matter. Promoting the artificial intelligence infrastructure, “Oben AI”, has been developed for the “Chat BT” application, recently that it is looking for partnerships with national governments with the aim of developing more artificial intelligence infrastructure outside the United States and improving US leadership in this area. The upcoming agreement is part of a series of investment movements in the region in collaboration with Trump’s visit, which also includes plans to grant Saudi Arabia more to advanced semiconductor technologies. UAE investments in “Oben Ai” Oben Ai “link a long -term strategic relationship with the UAE, which started with a partnership in 2023 with the AI ​​company” G42 “(G42), based in Abu Dhabi. In 2024, G42 received a $ 1.5 billion investment from Microsoft, the most important supporter of “Oben Ai”. MGX, an investment arm, supervised a member of the ruling family in the Emirates, also participated in a financing round that was closed by “Oben AI” in October at a value of $ 6.6 billion. “MGX” also intends to contribute to a $ 100 billion joint venture between “Oben AI” and “Softbank Group” and “Oracle” to develop an advanced infrastructure of artificial intelligence in the United States. According to the well -known people, details of the targeted capacity of the data center to be created in the Emirates are still unclear. The implementation of the project is largely dependent on the company’s ability to import advanced discs from the “Nvidia” business, which is used in the development and training of artificial intelligence models.

At a time when waveguides promised to pump large investments in US technology and infrastructure sectors. However, there are still questions about controls that prevent China from reaching the equipment needed to develop more advanced artificial intelligence technologies. The Trump administration had earlier announced its intention to cancel the organizational framework placed during the Bidenera, which aimed to face security and strategic challenges. Officials are currently preparing new world regulations to regulate the slice sector, according to “Bloomberg News”.
