Biden to discuss Gaza, Sudan, AI with UAE President on Monday: White House
Upcoming meeting between President Biden and President Al Nahyan comes at a crucial time, as concerns rise regarding the prospective transfer of advanced U.S. AI technologies to China through the UAE.
The Biden administration's recent export controls on AI chips aim to prevent this, but the major $1.5 billion investment by Microsoft in UAE-based G42 has sparked debate among lawmakers.
Many are calling for a thorough intelligence assessment to address fears that such investments could undermine national security by enabling the export of restricted AI microchip, thereby complicating the already delicate balance of technological power on a global scale.
