UAE and US working to 'get chips moving' after AI deal

After this week's debut of the White House's Artificial Intelligence Action Plan, the UAE is ready to expedite its AI partnership with the US. This follows President Donald Trump's visit to Abu Dhabi in May, when he announced the US-UAE AI Acceleration Partnership, which included plans for a 5GW UAE-US AI Campus. Those plans allow for the UAE to obtain powerful CPUs and GPUs from the US which are necessary to build up AI infrastructure. Once completed, part of the campus, dubbed Stargate UAE, will be among the largest AI data centres in the world. Security guarantees to protect the UAE AI technology from falling into the wrong hands were are major aspect of the deal. Also bolstering the deal, Mr Trump's much-anticipated AI plan, unveiled on Wednesday, seeks to reduce regulatory barriers in place to build up AI infrastructure in the US, while pushing for increasing the prevalence of US AI technology around the world. That bodes well for the UAE, and other countries with similar AI aspirations. It's also a sharp contrast to the former president Joe Biden's policies. His administration sought tighter export controls on US chips to prevent them from being used in China. 'The UAE welcomes President Trump's AI Action Plan and is ready to fast track our strategic AI partnership with the US,' Yousef Al Otaiba, UAE Minister of State and ambassador to the US, said on Wednesday. 'As a trusted partner, we are working closely with leading US companies to adopt and scale American technology in the UAE and beyond.' Some pundits aren't sold however, and they're trying to exert influence to slow the US-UAE AI Acceleration Partnership. In an opinion article in The Washington Post, Christopher Chivvis and Sam Winter-Levy from the Carnegie Endowment, a US-based think tank, expressed concern about China somehow getting access to the US AI technology, among other things. 'To now approve the offshoring of the data centres that will house so many of the resulting chips to another conflict-prone region would be a major unforced error – one that will prove difficult to reverse,' they wrote. The UAE has addressed this by committing to a $1.4 trillion investment framework for AI infrastructure in the US. Regardless, the Wall Street Journal also reported that some in the White House have sought to take a closer look at the recently announced UAE deal, amid concerns about US technology diffusion. But last week, the White House cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence adviser beat back those concerns, and reaffirmed the US partnership with the UAE. 'These are countries that are long-standing partners and allies of the US going back many years,' White House AI chief David Sacks said during a round-table discussion at the Pennsylvania Energy and AI Summit, referring to the UAE. Mr Sacks added that the Trump administration thought that if US technology wasn't used in AI projects around the world, China-owned Huawei would step in to fill the vacuum. 'We don't want to create demand for Huawei,' he explained, also describing some of the chip smuggling scenarios that have become prevalent in media reports as quixotic. He said the newest standard data centres technology hardware is approximately 2.4m tall, with servers weighing 1,600kg, and that it's 'very easy to see' if they're being transported. 'I know that our Gulf State partners would honour our security agreement,' he said just hours before President Trump appeared at the event in Pennsylvania. 'This is ultimately a trust-but-verify situation, and all we have to do is send an inspector to a data centre and they can count the racks,' Mr Sacks explained, reiterating that he felt the scenarios of AI hardware smuggling were 'blown wildly out of proportion.' Meanwhile, there's no indication from the White House or Department of Commerce, which is ultimately responsible for allowing the export of US technology, that criticism of the UAE deal is gaining traction. In a statement to The National, the UAE ambassador expressed continued optimism about the AI plans with the US announced back in May. 'Signed just 60 days ago in Abu Dhabi, the UAE-US investment and Ai partnership will deliver enormous benefits to both countries,' Mr Al Otaiba said. 'High level teams have been actively engaging to advance the agreement, to get chips moving and to accelerate technology co-operation.'

To Win Or Not To Win The AI Race. The Question To End All Questions

WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 23: U.S. President Donald Trump displays a signed executive order during the ... More "Winning the AI Race" summit hosted by All‑In Podcast and Hill & Valley Forum at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium on July 23, 2025 in Washington, DC. Trump signed executive orders related to his Artificial Intelligence Action Plan during the event. (Photo by) When President Donald Trump announced Winning the AI Race: America's AI Action Plan yesterday, he said something we should all remember: 'America is the country that started the AI race. And as president of the United States, I'm here today to declare that America is going to win it.' These are important words to remember because it may be the last time, Trump and his Big Tech partners in Silicon Valley acknowledge that AI wasn't always a question of winning or losing a race. To Win Or Not To Win Is Not The Only Question Once AI was a philosophical question – one that religious and spiritual thinkers from ancient cultures asked to better understand the laws of nature. Later it became a scientific question – one that English mathematicians and computer scientitsts asked to transcend the laws of nature. And lately, it has become everyone's question – one that ethicists, policy makers, journalists, educators, you, and I ask to protect the nature in and around us that AI threatens to replace. But – Trump claims – AI is no longer a question. It's a race. A race started by America that America is going to win. Why? Because, as Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, puts it, 'winning the AI race is non-negotiable.' And once something is non-negotiable, all questions about it ends. So what are the questions America's AI Action Plan is designed to end? And why is it important that we keep asking them? The AI Race Ends Questions About Regulations The plan identifies over 90 Federal policy actions across three pillars – Accelerating Innovation, Building American AI Infrastructure, and Leading in International Diplomacy and Security. One key policy is enabling innovation and adoption by 'removing onerous Federal regulations that hinder AI development and deployment, and seek private sector input on rules to remove.' In yesterday's summit Trump commented on this initiative, saying the AI industry is 'a beautiful baby that's born.' 'We have to grow that baby and let that baby thrive. We can't stop it. We can't stop it with politics, we can't stop it with foolish rules,' Trump said. Talking about AI development as something that cannot be stopped is one thing. Comparing the tech industry with a baby whose growth and well-being we are responsible for is another. And maybe that's where our questions should start: Where our understanding of nature meets our understanding of technology. Is it the same to be 'born to think' and to be 'built to think'? Do babies and AI technologies follow the same laws of nature? Do they have the same constraints? And can the questions asked by philosophers, religious thinkers, and scientists in the past guide us in navigating the need for restrictions and regulations in the future? At the AI Action Plan summit, President Trump said the tech industry is 'a beautiful baby" that we ... More have to grow and let thrive. (Photo by Joe Mahoney) The AI Race Ends Questions About Existential Risks According to the White House's website, 'winning the AI race will usher in a new golden age of human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security for the American people.' But it doesn't say what this golden age of human flourishing should look like. In fact, the Trump administration's understanding of AI seems to built on the idea that technology can and should be neutral. No human ideas and ideals. Just pure innovation. Or, as it says in the plan's 'upholding free speech in frontier models' section: Federal procurement guidelines must be updated to 'ensure that the government only contracts with frontier language model developers who ensure that their systems are objective and free from top-down idealogical bias.' But this idea that technology can and should be neutral can and should be questioned. For decades the developers of first the internet and then social media have promised us free speech and systems that are objective and free from top-down idealogical bias. And for decades, we have seen an increase in mental health problems caused by misinformation and polarization. So, maybe that's the questions we must ask: How does it impact humans to think and talk about technology as something that doesn't impact humans? Is it possible to let the tech industry grow and thrive and at the same time take responsibility for human growth and well-being? Or will a country that prioritizes to be front runners in building technological systems eventually lose sight of what it takes to build human systems, e.g. in terms of education, health, and ultimately democracy? The AI Race Ends Questions About Global Collaboration 'Whether we like it or not, we're suddenly engaged in a fast-paced competition to build and define this groundbreaking technology that will determine so much about the future of civilization itself,' Trump said at the AI Action Plan event. To prepare for this future, the government will partner with US tech companies to make 'full stack AI export packages' — AI models, hardware and software — available to American ally countries. As reported by CNN, this partnership aims at making US technology the global standard, something Silicon Valley leaders have called for to ensure the United States remains an AI leader. But if AI really is this 'groundbreaking technology that will determine so much about the future of civilization itself', other countries are not looking to the US for a 'full stack AI export package'. And they are certainly not looking to Silicon Valley for global leadership and standards. Dealing with a groundbreaking technology that will determine the future of civilization itself calls for everyone to work together. And that calls for all of us to ask: Should staying ahead of China be the top priority for the American administration right now? Or does AI call for an intergovernmental organization like the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that promotes the safe, secure and peaceful use of nuclear technology? Established in 1957, IAEA was not influenced by Big Tech. The Agency's genesis was President Eisenhower's 'Atoms for Peace' address to the General Assembly of the United Nations on 8 December 1953. Is that what the world needs from the president of the United States? Not a declaration that America is going to win a race it started itself. And not a full stack AI export package. But an 'AI for Peace' address that crystallizes the hope that the groundbreaking development of AI 'may lead to the unifying of the entire divided world' (Eisenhower's words about the splitting of the atom)? To win or not to win the AI race is not the only question. There are many questions and none of them should be answered by one president of one country. Least of all in a plan designed to be non-negotiable.

Inside DC's invite-only AI after party

Presented by Chevron Welcome to POLITICO's West Wing Playbook: Remaking Government, your guide to Donald Trump's unprecedented overhaul of the federal government — the key decisions, the critical characters and the power dynamics that are upending Washington and beyond. Send tips | Subscribe | Email Sophia | Email Irie | Email Ben President DONALD TRUMP is scheduled to deliver a high-profile address tomorrow touting his Artificial Intelligence Action Plan, but the real action will happen hours later at a private after party. The exclusive event will be held at Ned's Club, the invite-only rooftop social club perched atop the Walker Building next to the White House, where membership sets you back $5,000 per year. The event is hosted by CHRISTIAN GARRETT, managing partner at 137 Ventures — an early investor in SpaceX and Anduril — and cofounder of the Hill & Valley Forum that's co-hosting tomorrow's rollout with the All-In podcast. The after party is shaping up to be a who's who of Silicon Valley's AI and tech elite — and the people in Washington deciding how to investigate, fund or do business with them, according to an invite list obtained by POLITICO. Trump's new AI strategy is expected to cut regulation, push exports, speed up data center builds and go after 'woke AI,' our MOHAR CHATTERJEE reports. That approach, combined with ELON MUSK's advance into government earlier this year, has accelerated the convergence of tech power and Washington policymaking. And the Ned's party list shows who is likely to benefit from the changes underfoot. Sen. RICK SCOTT (R-Fla.) will deliver the keynote, according to the invite. He'll discuss his experience as an entrepreneur and highlight the need to shrink government, a person familiar with his thinking said. Among those invited are OpenAI COO BRAD LIGHTCAP, Meta's ALEXANDR WANG and a slate of top venture capitalists including Sequoia's SHAUN MAGUIRE — now well known in political circles for his MAGA-aligned social media posts and beef with New York City mayoral candidate ZOHRAN MAMDANI. The invite list also includes executives and officials from a range of social circles including: DOGE: More than 30 DOGE-affiliated federal officials, including STEPHEN EHIKIAN, THOMAS SHEDD and JOSH GRUENBAUM at General Services Administration, along with ANTHONY ARMSTRONG at the National Security Council. They're joined by DOGE engineers including LUKE FARRITOR, MARKO ELEZ and EDWARD 'BIG BALLS' CORISTINE, who tore through federal agencies with Musk in the early days of DOGE. Elon allies: The newly confirmed OPM director and Andreessen Horowitz veteran, SCOTT KUPOR, SpaceX's head of policy, TIM HUGHES, and retired Gen. TERRENCE O'SHAUGHNESSY, one of Musk's top advisers at SpaceX. White House: Trump policy advisor EMILY UNDERWOOD. The antitrust flank: Federal Trade Commission CTO JAKE DENTON, DOJ's antitrust chief of staff, SARA MATAR, and MARK WAIT, a top aide to Sen. MIKE LEE (R-Utah), who chairs the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust. The Pentagon: EMIL MICHAEL, the former Uber executive turned undersecretary of Defense for research and engineering, and ALEXANDER CAMPBELL, chief of staff of the Defense Innovation Unit. The private sector: Anduril's president, MATTHEW STECKMAN, and emissaries from Palantir, Thrive Capital (JOSHUA KUSHNER's firm), Applied Intuition, Plaid, Stripe, Ramp, Databricks and others. Christine Mui and Daniel Lippman contributed reporting. MESSAGE US — West Wing Playbook is obsessively covering the Trump administration's reshaping of the federal government. Are you a federal worker? A DOGE staffer? Have you picked up on any upcoming DOGE moves? We want to hear from you on how this is playing out. Email us at westwingtips@ Did someone forward this email to you? Subscribe! POTUS PUZZLER How many presidents did not have any pets in the White House? (Answer at bottom.) The Oval EPSTEIN SAGA, CONT: Trump attempted to shift the focus away from the controversy over the sealed documents in the JEFFREY EPSTEIN case today, and instead urged his Justice Department to go after former President BARACK OBAMA, our ELI STOKOLS reports. 'Whether it's right or wrong, it's time to go after people,' Trump said in the Oval Office, accusing the former president of 'treason' for an alleged plot to rig the 2016 presidential election. PATRICK RODENBUSH, a spokesperson for Obama, called Trump's claim 'outrageous' in a statement. 'Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response,' he said. 'But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.' Agenda Setting COUNT US OUT: The U.S. will pull out of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization at the president's request, our NICOLE MARKUS reports. 'President Trump has decided to withdraw the United States from UNESCO — which supports woke, divisive cultural and social causes that are totally out-of-step with the commonsense policies that Americans voted for in November,' White House deputy press secretary ANNA KELLY said in a statement. In February, Trump issued an executive order requiring Secretary of State MARCO RUBIO to review UNESCO and other international organizations which may 'promote radical or anti-American sentiment.' HISTORY UNDER REVIEW: Employees of the National Park Service have had to flag descriptions and displays at parks and historic sites for review after a Trump executive order directed employees to remove or cover up materials that 'inappropriately disparage Americans,' NYT's MAXINE JOSELOW and LISA FRIEDMAN report. Some of the flags employees raised include: ELIZABETH PEACE, a spokesperson for the Interior Department, the parent agency of the Park Service, said the Trump administration's move 'is not about rewriting the past.' 'Interpretive materials that disproportionately emphasize negative aspects of U.S. history or historical figures, without acknowledging broader context or national progress, can unintentionally distort understanding rather than enrich it,' she said. NO NEED: The Department of Labor is planning to rewrite or repeal more than 60 'obsolete' workplace regulations, from minimum wage requirements for some workers to standards governing exposure to harmful substances, AP's CATHY BUSSEWITZ reports, in what the department secretary called the 'most ambitious proposal to slash red tape of any department across the federal government.' If approved, the changes would also impact working conditions at construction sites and in mines, and limit the government's ability to penalize employers if workers are injured or killed while engaged in dangerous activities. 'The Department of Labor is proud to lead the way by eliminating unnecessary regulations that stifle growth and limit opportunity,' Secretary of Labor LORI CHAVEZ-DeREMER said in a statement. WHERE'S THE MONEY? The White House and Republican lawmakers are locked in a confrontation with a federal watchdog that has opened dozens of investigations into whether the administration has illegally withheld billions of dollars in congressionally appropriated funds, NYT's TONY ROMM reports. The attacks target the Government Accountability Office, which produces reports on ways that Washington can save money. The GAO has twice determined in recent months that the president violated rules preventing him from unilaterally canceling funding, first for withholding federal funding for electric vehicle charging stations and then again for libraries across the country. White House budget director RUSS VOUGHT has denied any wrongdoings, arguing that the White House's spending is an attempt to use taxpayers' dollars more effectively. A spokesperson for Vought declined to comment. In the Courts NOT VIBING: Federal judges ousted Trump's former personal attorney ALINA HABBA as New Jersey's top federal prosecutor, exercising a statute to rebuff the administration's wishes, our RY RIVARD and DANIEL HAN report. The state's district court judges voted to not let Habba, who was serving on an interim basis, stay on the job after her 120-day term expires, instead choosing prosecutor DESIREE LEIGH GRACE. White House spokesperson HARRISON FIELDS said in a statement that 'President Trump has full confidence in Alina Habba,' adding that the administration 'looks forward to her final confirmation in the U.S. Senate and will work tirelessly to ensure the people of New Jersey are well represented.' Knives Out LATE NIGHT ATTACKS: The president slammed late night talk show hosts JIMMY KIMMEL and JIMMY FALLON today after they voiced support for 'The Late Show' host STEPHEN COLBERT after Paramount canceled his show amid an ongoing riff between the network and the Trump administration, Markus reports. 'The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone,' he wrote on Truth Social. 'These are people with absolutely NO TALENT, who were paid Millions of Dollars for, in all cases, destroying what used to be GREAT Television.' JON STEWART, a longtime friend of Colbert, said on Monday during 'The Daily Show' that the ending of the show was 'the path of least resistance' for the network to get its proposed $8 billion merger with Skydance Media approved by a 'fragile and vengeful president.' Paramount has said the show's cancellation was 'purely a financial decision.'

Turkiye unveils 39-point reform plan to strengthen investment climate

Turkiye's Investment Environment Improvement Council (YOIKK) has unveiled its 2025 Action Plan, setting the stage for comprehensive reforms to enhance the nation's investment climate. The plan, comprising 39 targeted actions, focuses on key areas including industrial transformation, renewable energy, the digital economy, and regional development. The plan seeks to stimulate private sector investment, reduce bureaucratic barriers, and align Turkiye's commercial framework with international standards. It places strong emphasis on increasing industrial output, encouraging technological innovation, and establishing legal clarity for investors. The Ministry of Industry and Technology will spearhead the expansion of organised industrial zones under a broader national industrial strategy, while the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources will focus on making energy-intensive zones more sustainable. These efforts are expected to reinforce Turkiye's industrial competitiveness and environmental resilience, according to media reports from Turkiye. Turkiye's Investment Environment Improvement Council (YOIKK) has launched its 2025 Action Plan featuring 39 reforms to boost private investment, streamline regulations, and align with global standards. Key focus areas include industrial transformation, renewable energy, digital economy, and regional development. The highlights include a hydrogen strategy, AI action plan, and vocational training. To streamline procedures, the plan proposes a single-window investment platform. It also includes legal reforms to improve predictability in qualified investments and resolve disputes more efficiently. Revisions to enterprise and SME classification thresholds are also on the agenda to reflect evolving economic realities. Vocational training is another focal point as higher education institutions will be set up within industrial zones in collaboration with local chambers of commerce, promoting university-industry partnerships and addressing workforce needs. In a major push towards clean energy, the Ministry of Industry and Technology will soon launch a national hydrogen strategy, as per the reports. The initiative will cover legislative, safety, and infrastructure frameworks for hydrogen production, supporting research in electrolysers and fuel cells while ensuring EU environmental compliance. Additionally, Turkiye is preparing a 2026–2030 Artificial Intelligence Action Plan to advance ethical AI development and boost its international standing. A National Cloud Computing Strategy and updated National Data Strategy will also address data localisation and infrastructure gaps. The plan also introduced a Local Development Initiative Program aimed at identifying and supporting region-specific opportunities. A nationwide call for proposals under this initiative is expected later in the year. Fibre2Fashion News Desk (SG)

More than 400 artists send letter to Trump over AI companies exploiting copyrighted works

More than 400 Hollywood celebrities and creative leaders, including Paul McCartney, Cate Blanchett and Guillermo del Toro, have signed an open letter to the Trump White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy, urging the administration to not roll back copyright protections despite OpenAI and Google's efforts. The letter directly challenges recent proposals from tech giants that argue US copyright law should allow AI companies to train their systems on copyrighted works without permission or compensation to rights holders. "We firmly believe that America's global AI leadership must not come at the expense of our essential creative industries," states the letter, which comes after OpenAI and Google submitted proposals suggesting that more relaxed copyright rules would strengthen America's competitive edge in AI development against countries like China. The signatories include Ben Stiller, Mark Ruffalo, Cynthia Erivo, Alfonso Cuaron, Chris Rock, Bette Midler, Ava Duvernay, Aubrey Plaza, Ron Howard, Ayo Edebiri, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Lily Gladstone, Sam Mendes, Paul Giamatti, Maggie Gylenhall and Taika Waititi. They point out that tech giants like "Google (valued at $2Tn) and OpenAI (valued at over $157Bn) are arguing for a special government exemption so they can freely exploit America's creative and knowledge industries, despite their substantial revenues and available funds." "America didn't become a global cultural powerhouse by accident," the letter concludes. "Our success stems directly from our fundamental respect for IP and copyright that rewards creative risk-taking by talented and hardworking Americans from every state and territory." Here is the letter from the Hollywood signatories: Hello Friends & Strangers. As you may be aware there has recently been a recommendation by OpenAI & Google to the current US Administration that is gaining alarming traction to remove all legal protections & existing guardrails surrounding copyright law protections for the training of Artificial Intelligence. This rewriting of established law in favor of so-called 'Fair Use' was in need of an initial response by 11:59 PM ET Saturday, so we have submitted an initial letter with the signatories we had at that time. We are now continuing to accept signatures for an amendment to our initial statement. Please feel free to forward this to anyone you think may be invested in the ethical maintenance of their intellectual property. You can add your name and whatever guilds or unions or description of self you feel appropriate, but please do not edit the letter itself. Thank you so much for kicking this out wide on a Saturday Night! Hollywood's Response to the Administration's Artificial Intelligence Action Plan and necessity that copyright law be upheld. We, the members of America's entertainment industry — representing an intersection of cinematographers, directors, producers, actors, writers, studios, production companies, musicians, composers, costume, sound & production designers, editors, gaffers, union and Academy Members, and other industrious, creative content professionals – submit this unified statement in response to the Administration's request for input on the AI Action Plan. We firmly believe that America's global AI leadership must not come at the expense of our essential creative industries. America's arts and entertainment industry supports over 2.3M American jobs with over $229Bn in wages annually, while providing the foundation for American democratic influence and soft power abroad. But AI companies are asking to undermine this economic and cultural strength by weakening copyright protections for the films, television series, artworks, writing, music, and voices used to train AI models at the core of multi-billion dollar corporate valuations. Make no mistake: this issue goes well beyond the entertainment industry, as the right to train AI on all copyright-protected content impacts all of America's knowledge industries. When tech and AI companies demand unfettered access to all data and information, they're not just threatening movies, books, and music, but the work of all writers, publishers, photographers, scientists, architects, engineers, designers, doctors, software developers and all other professionals who work with computers and generate intellectual property. These professions are the core of how we discover, learn, and share knowledge as a society and as a nation. This issue is not just about AI leadership or about economics and individual rights, but about America's continued leadership in creating and owning valuable intellectual property in every field. It is clear that Google (valued at $2Tn) and OpenAI (valued at over $157Bn) are arguing for a special government exemption so they can freely exploit America's creative and knowledge industries, despite their substantial revenues and available funds. There is no reason to weaken or eliminate the copyright protections that have helped America flourish. Not when AI companies can use our copyrighted material by simply doing what the law requires: negotiating appropriate licenses with copyright holders — just as every other industry does. Access to America's creative catalog of films, writing, video content, and music is not a matter of national security. They do not require a government-mandated exemption from existing U.S. copyright law. America didn't become a global cultural powerhouse by accident. Our success stems directly from our fundamental respect for IP and copyright that rewards creative risk-taking by talented and hardworking Americans from every state and territory. For nearly 250 years, U.S. copyright law has balanced creator's rights with the needs of the public, creating the world's most vibrant creative economy. We recommend that the American AI Action Plan uphold existing copyright frameworks to maintain the strength of America's creative and knowledge industries, as well as American cultural influence abroad.
