OpenAI to Help UAE Develop Massive Data Center
OpenAI plans to help build a huge data center in the United Arab Emirates, which could become one of the biggest in the world.
This data center is part of OpenAI's plan to expand its AI infrastructure globally.
The project is in Abu Dhabi and involves a company called G42, along with potential contributions from other US companies.
This new facility could use as much power as five nuclear reactors.
Some officials worry about sending AI technology outside of the US.
The UAE data center is part of a bigger agreement for AI collaboration between the US and UAE.
