The US and the UAE will jointly construct a massive AI data center in Abu Dhabi, aiming to establish the UAE as a global AI hub. This initiative is part of a broader agreement. The data center, spanning 10 square miles, will have a 5GW power capacity, potentially housing over 2 million of Nvidia's latest AI chips. The deal, announced during President Trump's visit, is seen as a step toward US AI dominance. The project follows the scrapping of chip export restrictions, potentially easing access to advanced technology for the UAE. The US hopes to secure its AI leadership through partnerships with allies like the UAE.
