UAE to build biggest AI campus outside US in Trump deal, bypassing past China worries

The United Arab Emirates and the United States have signed an agreement for the Gulf country to build the largest artificial intelligence campus outside the United States, a type of deal that previously faced restrictions over Washington’s concerns that China could access the technology. The countries did not say which AI chips from Nvidia or other companies could be included in UAE data centres, but sources had said a deal would give the Gulf country expanded access to advanced AI chips. Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang was seen in televised footage conversing with US President Donald Trump and UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan at a palace in Abu Dhabi on Thursday.
