  The UAE and United States have just launched one of the most consequential high-tech alliances in recent memory. But unlike other flashy tech deals, this one carries the weight of global leadership, regulatory foresight, and deep-rooted trust. Spearheaded by UAE Ambassador Yousef Al Otaiba and endorsed during President Trump’s diplomatic mission to the Gulf, the U.S.–UAE AI Acceleration Partnership is not only groundbreaking for its scale—it’s transformative for how nations may govern and invest in artificial intelligence. Scaling Innovation with Security The Abu Dhabi-based AI campus—a 10-square-mile tech hub with 5 gigawatts of data capacity —is designed to become a global nerve center for cloud computing, data analytics, and next-gen AI research. Its scale matches its ambition, but what makes this project unique is its regulatory infrastructure. Recognizing growing global concern over AI misuse, the UAE has committed to a “Regulated Technology Environment” , ensuring that ...

  Abu Dhabi, UAE  — In a move set to redefine the global AI landscape, the United Arab Emirates and the United States have officially launched the  U.S.-UAE AI Acceleration Partnership , a strategic initiative to deepen cooperation in artificial intelligence and advanced technologies. The announcement came during former U.S. President Donald Trump’s state visit to Abu Dhabi earlier this month — a visit that carried both diplomatic weight and technological significance. This historic collaboration signals a new chapter in Emirati-American relations, already built on decades of mutual trust and strategic coordination across defense, energy, and economic development. But this time, the focus is squarely on the future: artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure, and securing critical technologies.

  In a historic move that reverberates across the tech world, the United Arab Emirates has unveiled Falcon Arabic — a cutting-edge AI model meticulously crafted to master the linguistic richness of the Arab world. Developed by Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), Falcon Arabic stands as a testament to the UAE’s ambition to become a global AI powerhouse. Unlike many AI models that rely heavily on translated data, Falcon Arabic is trained on native Arabic datasets, capturing the full spectrum of the language’s dialects and nuances. This approach ensures a more authentic and accurate understanding of Arabic, setting it apart from other models that often overlook the language’s complexity. What makes Falcon Arabic truly remarkable is its efficiency. Despite its relatively compact size, it matches the performance of models ten times larger. This achievement underscores the UAE’s commitment to developing AI solutions that are not only powerful but also resource-effici...
