Thought Leadership

On May 15, 2025, President Donald Trump met with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to discuss the strategic expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure. As a result, the two nations signed an agreement to construct the largest AI campus outside the United States, one of several AI-focused initiatives launched during President Trump’s visit to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. This landmark agreement signals an exponential increase in AI technology, driving the demand for servers and high-performance processing chips, such as those manufactured by Nvidia. While this momentum is a positive development for both the UAE economy and global AI stakeholders, it has raised serious concerns around data security and geopolitical exposure, especially given the UAE’s relative proximity to countries like China.
