The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the US government have agreed on an "AI acceleration partnership agreement," according to the US Commerce Department. This announcement follows a deal between OpenAI and the Saudi government to build data centers in Saudi Arabia. The centers will be overseen by Humain, the AI investment arm of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund.
Amazon Web Services and the UAE Cybersecurity Council will launch a "sovereign cloud launchpad." This project aims to support the UAE's digital initiatives. The Trump administration highlighted this arrangement in a White House fact sheet.
The White House also re-announced that President Trump had 'secured' nearly $200B in US-UAE deals. It remains unclear what the specifics of these deals are related to.
