On a sunny Saturday in Abu Dhabi, the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed, had a high-level meeting with Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. The main purpose of this meeting was to explore how to further enhance cooperation between OpenAI and institutions in the UAE, particularly in the fields of artificial intelligence research and its application. This marks an important new step for the UAE on the global stage of artificial intelligence.
According to the national news agency of the UAE, the UAE has invested billions of dollars in recent years to position itself in the field of artificial intelligence. This collaboration with OpenAI corresponds to the ambitious vision of the UAE to build an integrated artificial intelligence ecosystem, which effectively supports the country's development plans and helps it transform into a knowledge-based economy. As the world's largest oil exporter, the UAE is not limited to the development of traditional energy, but rather accelerates its transition towards technological innovation.
It should be noted that the UAE is building one of the largest artificial intelligence processing centers in the world and plans to launch a new Arabic language artificial intelligence model. These measures show the firm determination of the UAE to promote local technological development. At the same time, the UAE is actively seeking to take advantage of its good relations with the United States to obtain advanced artificial intelligence technologies. In May of this year, the UAE and the United States signed an important agreement aimed at building one of the largest artificial intelligence zones in the world outside the United States. This agreement was announced during the visit of former President Trump to Abu Dhabi, highlighting the close cooperation between the two countries in the field of technology.
With this meeting, the cooperation between the UAE and OpenAI will become closer, thus promoting the progress of research and practice in artificial intelligence. This not only represents a new attempt by the UAE on the international stage of artificial intelligence, but also an important step in their national strategic transformation.
