Stargate UAE: What does it mean for the future of AI?
Last week, some of the biggest names in tech announced a partnership with Abu Dhabi's leading AI entity, G42 – a project called Stargate UAE.
It's part of a massive new AI campus set to come online in 2026 – a Gulf iteration of OpenAI's US-based project of the same name, which was launched earlier this year.
Also happening at the same time will be a partnership between Nvidia and the UAE's AI investment bank, MGX, on a data centre in Europe, and another G42 partnership focused on building data centres on US soil.
All of this comes after US President Donald Trump's visit to the Gulf in May.
It's arguably the dawn of a new era, not just in tech, but in the global economic and political relationships that are keeping tech at the helm.
On this episode of Business Extra, we revisit the question of AI and the Gulf, because a lot has changed in just the last few months.

Arya by Citi Developers unveiled: Art of Neo-Luxury on Dubai Islands
Where design becomes emotion, and every detail tells a story In a city defined by spectacle, ARYA arrives with a bang. Set on the Marina of Dubai Islands, ARYA introduces a new expression of waterfront living, one shaped by artistic clarity, architectural grace, and a deep appreciation for the rare. Limited to just 68 residences, ARYA is more than a development; it is a private collection. Each home is a bespoke composition of custom-designed furniture, smart technology, curated décor, and uninterrupted marina views. Personal assistant robots serve each unit, while private sky pools elevate everyday moments into rituals of stillness. Across four curated levels of amenities - from the immersive Galore Ground Floor to the horizon-defining Eleventh Sky - ARYA offers a sensory journey through wellness, water, and wonder. Roman thermal baths, bespoke hammams, cinematic lounges, and suspended rooftop bars are not just amenities - they are artworks in function. "ARYA is: Concept of Neo-Luxury made physical," says Zoraiz Malik, CEO of Citi Developers. "It is art you can live in, luxury you can feel, and design that doesn't chase attention - because it already has yours." Scheduled for handover in Q4 2027, ARYA offers one bed - to five-bedroom penthouses starting from Dh1.9 million, with a 60/40 payment plan. For more information, visit the website:
