White House AI chief says Biden hurt Gulf AI ambitions
The White House cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence adviser has blamed the Biden administration for stifling Middle East technology ambitions, particularly in the AI space. David Sacks made the comments on Tuesday during a round-table discussion at the Pennsylvania Energy and AI Summit, which President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend. He said former president Joe Biden's push to increase export controls that limited access to processing units deemed critical to pro-AI countries such as the UAE that are seeking to be leaders in the sector. Those export controls sought to prevent countries such as China from taking the lead in the AI arena but other nations, many of them US allies, were disproportionately affected by the policies. 'We already have hostile relations with a country on one side of the Persian Gulf,' Mr Sacks said, referring to Iran. 'Do we have to alienate everybody?' Alleviating some of these concerns, however, was Mr Trump's announcement in May during a visit to the UAE of a partnership in the form of a new 5-gigawatt UAE-US AI campus. Proponents of the deal highlighted security guarantees that would prevent the misuse of US technology, CPUs and GPUs. 'I know that our Gulf state partners will honour our security agreement,' Mr Sacks said. He added that stories of chip smuggling to other countries were overblown and oversimplified. 'The stories give people the impression that the chips are like diamonds in a briefcase that can be smuggled,' he explained. 'They're not, they're mainframe computers, it's not easy.' Mr Sacks added that inspectors can easily keep track of servers at data centres to ensure that US technology is accounted for. He also accused the Biden administration of placing too many burdens on US tech companies with the executive order that sought to put guardrails on AI development by emphasising data privacy and labour protection. Mr Sacks pointed out that in the days after inauguration, Mr Trump rescinded Mr Biden's executive order. Ahead of the conference, Nvidia, which has been a vocal critic of export control policies under the Biden administration, announced that following meetings with Mr Trump and other US officials, the company would soon be able to sell its Nvidia H20 GPU in China again. 'Nvidia hopes to start deliveries soon,' the company said. Also taking part in the summit was Khaldoon Al Mubarak, managing director and chief executive of UAE-based Mubadala Investment Company, who highlighted Mubadala's push to have an AI member as a consultant on its investment committee. 'The AI co-pilot that sits with us in the committee with all the board members, and all the investment committee members, obviously get to interact directly agent,' he said. Mr Al Mubarak said the UAE's economic history – from the rise and fall of the pearl industry that preceded a boom in oil and natural gas that helped propel the country to unprecedented prosperity – serves as a compass as it navigates its AI ambitions. 'At some point, this [oil and gas] was going to be disrupted, and I think that was the wise approach that our leadership and my government took,' he said, pointing out the UAE's push over the last decade to invest in AI. Mr Al Mubarak highlighted the creation of the UAE's Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) – where he currently serves as chairman of the board of trustees – in 2019 as proof the country was ahead of the curve in identifying AI as an economic game-changer.

Abu Dhabi cracks down on grade inflation after private school probe
The Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) has launched Phase One of a comprehensive review targeting grade inflation and inconsistencies in academic records across private schools in the emirate. As part of its regulatory mandate, ADEK is auditing Grade 12 academic records, including transcripts, assessment frameworks, graduation requirements, and samples of marked student work, to ensure grades accurately reflect learning outcomes and assessment standards. So far, 12 private schools have been temporarily barred from enrolling students in Grades 11 and 12 due to non-compliance. These schools must now implement corrective measures before resuming senior enrolments in Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi grade inflation Grade inflation can: Undermine trust in the education system Lead to unfair university admissions Distort school performance rankings Create inequitable opportunities for students ADEK's review was triggered by discrepancies flagged between internal grades and external benchmark exam results through its quality assurance systems. This prompted a deeper investigation into how academic credits are awarded — and whether they align with graduation requirements and real student performance. What happens next: Phase One focuses on Grade 12 across targeted schools Future phases will expand the review to Grades 9–11 Internal grades will be compared with external benchmarks Schools may face escalation or disciplinary action for continued non-compliance ADEK's initiative aims to rebuild parental trust, ensure transparent and fair assessments, and guarantee that every credential earned by a student is genuine, credible, and deserved.
