While the West debates AI regulation, the UAE is deploying it at scale
The West is stuck in an exhausting cycle of AI anxiety. Europeans craft elaborate regulatory frameworks. Americans oscillate between Silicon Valley techno-optimism and Washington hand-wringing. Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates has simply gotten on with it. When Dubai announced plans to roll out free ChatGPT Plus subscriptions for residents as part of the Stargate UAE project, it was making a strategic declaration to the world. The UAE is participating in the AI revolution by methodically positioning to dominate the global AI landscape. This is not national romanticism; it's a cold-eyed assessment of how the UAE is systematically building the infrastructure, partnerships, and expertise to lead the next technological era. Let's talk numbers. a multi-billion dollar investment in the Stargate UAE computing cluster –expected to become one of the world's largest AI hubs with a 1-gigawatt facility – anchors the country's infrastructure ambitions; a state-owned AI investment vehicle (MGX) targeting $100 billion in assets; Microsoft's $1.5 billion stake in Abu Dhabi's G42 – these are the calculated chess pieces of a nation playing several moves ahead on the global chessboard. Strategic clarity amid Western confusion The European Union spent three years labouring over its AI Act, producing a byzantine classification system that neatly divides AI into risk categories with corresponding restrictions. This has resulted in a regulatory masterpiece that practically guarantees European technological irrelevance. The U.S.'s approach is hardly better – a haphazard blend of corporate self-regulation and fragmented state interventions that satisfies nobody. One federal agency warns of existential risk while another frets about falling behind China. Paralysis ensues. The UAE suffers no such confusion. The country appointed the world's first Minister of State for AI in 2017, a full six years before Sam Altman was testifying to Congress about the need for regulatory oversight. This was far from symbolic. It signaled an intention to integrate AI governance at the highest levels of government while Western democracies were still debating whether AI deserved cabinet-level attention. Confidence vs. anxiety The UAE's approach stems from a fundamental cultural difference. Western discourse frames AI through fear – job displacement, misinformation, existential risk. The UAE narrative is precisely the opposite. The Gulf nation sees AI as the logical extension of centuries of Arab mathematical and scientific tradition, from Al-Khwarizmi's algebra to today's neural networks. When the UAE revealed its intention to provide free ChatGPT Plus access to all residents, it was a cultural statement. In the Emirates, advanced technology is not something to fear or heavily restrict, but a birthright to be widely distributed. The Jais language model, launched in August 2023 as an Arabic-English LLM, exemplifies this approach. Western models treated Arabic as an afterthought; the UAE built one where the Arabic language and the region's cultural context were central. Forget technological nationalism, this is refusing to accept second-class status in the digital future. Diplomatic agility as competitive advantage Perhaps the UAE's most underappreciated advantage is diplomatic flexibility. While the U.S. and China engage in their technological cold war, restricting chip exports and investment flows, the UAE maintains productive relationships with both superpowers. Microsoft invests billions in the Emirati AI ecosystem while the country simultaneously maintains technological partnerships with Chinese firms. This is strategic genius. The UAE accesses Western investment and Chinese markets simultaneously, while both giants increasingly cut themselves off from each other. The UAE model offers something distinct from either American market-driven innovation or Chinese state-directed development. It blends centralised vision with market dynamism, state investment with private expertise. The results speak for themselves: the Advanced Technology Research Council's Falcon LLM outperforming Meta and Google in certain benchmarks; the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League pushing boundaries of self-driving technology; ADNOC leveraging AI through platforms like its Panorama Digital Command Center to optimise operations and drive efficiency in the energy sector it has long dominated. Public buy-in, not resistance Perhaps most crucially, the UAE has achieved something many governments can only dream of: genuine public enthusiasm for AI. While Western populations grow increasingly suspicious of technology companies and algorithmic decision-making, citizens of the UAE view AI advancement as a source of national pride and a tangible symbol of the country's emergence as a global innovation leader. And this isn't accidental. Through initiatives like the UAE AI Programme, the country is aggressively upskilling its population to work with AI rather than compete against it. By framing AI as job creator rather than job destroyer, the UAE has transformed what could be public resistance into a powerful implementation advantage. ADNOC doesn't hide its AI integration. Instead, it proudly showcases how technologies like Neuron 5 optimise processes and reduce operational downtime. Retail giants like Majid Al Futtaim openly deploy AI-powered platforms for customer experiences. The UAE is normalising advanced AI in daily life while Western companies often downplay automation to avoid public backlash. The global stakes For Western readers thinking this is merely regional posturing, consider the implications. The UAE is demonstrating an alternative model of technological development that numerous countries find more appealing than either the American or Chinese approaches. This Gulf nation of 10 million people has become globally relevant in the most consequential technological transformation of our time. The Emirati model – centralised vision, aggressive investment, cultural confidence, and pragmatic implementation – offers a template for dozens of emerging economies watching this revolution unfold. The West may still enjoy significant advantages – elite universities, deep talent pools, and massive private sector investment. But these advantages are being steadily eroded by regulatory caution and cultural ambivalence. And history repeatedly confirms what we instinctively know: excessive regulation inevitably stifles the very innovation it attempts to guide. While Western nations draft position papers, the UAE builds AI infrastructure. While they debate hypothetical risks, it deploys real solutions. While they regulate, the UAE advances. For all the talk of AI competition between the U.S. and China, the most interesting model might be emerging from a small Gulf nation that many Western analysts still dismiss as a luxury tourism destination with outsized ambitions. They'd be wise to pay closer attention. History teaches us that technological revolutions often produce unexpected winners. Venice dominated early printing. Britain led industrialisation. America mastered computing. Each transformation reshuffled global power hierarchies.

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.
