UAE is a reliable partner for chip security: G42 CEO

 


The United Arab Emirates has demonstrated it can ensure the safety and protection of important computer chips, according to the CEO of leading UAE AI firm G42. Peng Xiao said if advanced chips were to be deployed and used in the UAE, the country has shown it can "guarantee the safety and security" of this sensitive technology. 


The US government has been considering limits on chip sales to some regions over national security concerns. However Xiao believes the UAE has proved it is transparent and capable of preventing protected American technology and intellectual property from being misused or falling into the wrong hands. 


G42 works closely with the UAE government on artificial intelligence development. Xiao pointed out the country has built strong relationships with the US on this issue. A recent high-level meeting in Washington saw agreements on continued AI cooperation and establishing a formal arrangement between the two governments.


Major technology companies like Microsoft have also expressed confidence in the UAE It signed a large multi year partnership with G42 this year to advance AI projects in areas like computing robotics and blockchain. Large US investment funds have billions invested in the Emirates economy as well.


As one of the most economically and technologically progressive nations in the Middle East the UAE wants to develop domestic AI industries. It can serve as a testbed for new technologies under close partnerships with American firms. Neighboring Saudi Arabia is likewise seeking more advanced chip access to support its national AI drives. 


If concerns over security can be addressed strengthened collaboration on computer hardware and software could help the US strengthen strategic ties in the region while supporting emerging local innovation ecosystems Both sides stand to benefit from maintaining open and transparent discussions on jointly managing risks.
