G42 of the United Arab Emirates is making the move to ensure its access to US-made chips by allaying concerns among its American partners, which include Microsoft and OpenAI, said CEO Peng Xiao.
'For better or worse, as a commercial company, we are in a position where we have to make a choice,' said Mr Xiao. 'We cannot work with both sides.'
G42's ventures include the launch of an Arabic large language model. Its investors include Mubadala, the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, and the US private equity group Silver Lake.
