The United Arab Emirates solidified its position as a global digital infrastructure hub in 2025, recording a world-leading 97 percent utilisation rate of artificial intelligence tools across government entities, while the number of programmers in the country exceeded 450,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The year was defined by high-stakes international partnerships, most notably the establishment of a 5-gigawatt UAE<\/a>\u2013US AI Campus in Abu Dhabi. Serving billions of users through a mix of nuclear, solar, and gas power, the site represents the largest supercomputing cluster outside the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was complemented by the launch of the “Stargate UAE” project, a 1-gigawatt initiative involving G42, OpenAI, Oracle, Cisco, SoftBank, and Nvidia. Utilising advanced NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GB300 systems, the project\u2019s first phase is slated for 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strategic cooperation also expanded to Europe through a UAE\u2013France AI framework, which includes a dedicated 1-gigawatt data centre alongside joint projects in renewable energy, advanced semiconductors and shared research platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the investment front, UAE-based MGX has joined BlackRock, Global Infrastructure Partners, Microsoft, Nvidia, and xAI in an “AI Infrastructure Partnership” targeting next-generation data centres and energy solutions, with potential investments reaching $100 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE also leveraged AI for international development, committing $1 billion to the “AI for Development” initiative at the G20 summit to support projects across Africa, and partnering with the Gates Foundation on a $200 million AI ecosystem to support global agricultural development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Domestically, total AI-related investments for 2024-2025 exceeded AED543 billion, with global firms including Microsoft and KKR announcing major investments in the UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technological advancements included the debut of Jais 2, a 70-billion-parametre language model trained on the largest Arabic-first dataset ever assembled \u2014 600 billion Arabic tokens, a scale no other institution has attempted. The UAE also introduced the K2 Think, a leading open-source system for advanced AI reasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure cultural alignment, the country launched the “AI in the Ring” index, the world\u2019s first test that measures how closely tech models reflect the nation\u2019s culture and values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A national study confirmed that 44 percent of entities in the UAE now utilise high-performance computing across 91 specialised use cases in healthcare, finance, and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the public sector, the government introduced the world\u2019s first AI-driven legislative system to analyse laws and policy impacts. It also launched an AI HR assistant, which serves over 50,000 employees and automates 108 government services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In education, Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University reported a 95 percent reduction in faculty workload through the deployment of AI agents, alongside a marked improvement in student outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE Cabinet also launched a Cybersecurity Excellence Centre in partnership with Google Cloud, which is expected to create more than 20,000 jobs and strengthen the national cybersecurity ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
