UAE Eyes US Chip Access with $1.4 Trillion Investment Plan

Post by: Layla Badr

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is hopeful about getting access to advanced computer chips that are currently under US export restrictions. The UAE is working hard to improve its relationship with the United States and has pledged to invest $1.4 trillion over the next decade to strengthen those ties.

According to Peng Xiao, the CEO of G42, the UAE’s top artificial intelligence (AI) company, the UAE is making good progress toward getting these important chips from the US. These chips are crucial for the UAE’s plan to become a leading force in AI technology.

Right now, the UAE is on a list that limits the number of advanced chips it can get from the US. However, the country is putting more money into US technology and energy businesses in hopes of gaining better access to these chips.

Last month, the White House announced that the UAE would invest $1.4 trillion in the US. This decision came after a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an important member of the UAE’s royal family. Sheikh Tahnoon also oversees a massive $1.5 trillion business empire, which includes G42, the UAE’s AI company. He is also the UAE’s national security adviser.

Before the meeting, sources said that Sheikh Tahnoon planned to ask for easier access to these chips and wanted to highlight the UAE’s plans to build more tech infrastructure in the US. This includes funding for a $100 billion AI project that President Trump revealed during his first week in office.

Xiao, the G42 CEO, said in an interview that the UAE would like to continue investing in the US even more, but with certain conditions. He said that the UAE wanted the partnership to be fair and beneficial for both sides.

Although Xiao didn’t give full details, he hinted that G42 might play a role in this $1.4 trillion investment. Other leaders from G42’s data center and cloud services also mentioned plans to expand into the US, as well as new projects in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

Last year, G42 decided to cut its ties with China and instead partnered with Microsoft. This shift is part of the UAE’s plan to work closely with the US and lead the world in AI technology. The company also decided to phase out equipment from Huawei, a Chinese tech giant, in favor of aligning with the US.

Omar Al Olama, the UAE’s minister for AI and the digital economy, said in an interview that the UAE’s investments in US companies give the country an advantage as a partner. He believes that the UAE is not just another country trying to compete but is seen as an important player on the global stage.
