According to the Zhitong Financial APP, against the backdrop of global semiconductor industry restructuring, the United Arab Emirates is emerging as an important player in the fields of semiconductors and artificial intelligence. The semiconductor industry observation team stated that recently, the UAE signed an agreement with the United States to import over 1 million NVIDIA advanced AI chips annually, and is deepening cooperation with OpenAI, Microsoft, and others to drive industry advancement. At the same time, the UAE is actively investing in chip manufacturing, establishing data centers, initiating the MGX fund, and striving to build a complete industry ecosystem. Overall, the AI chip agreement between the UAE and the United States is a geostrategic game of "technology for capital": the UAE is exchanging significant investments for a leap in computing power, aiming to establish a differentiated position in global AI competition, while the United States is using technology access to strengthen alliances and reinforce its "AI supremacy".
