OpenAI teams up with UAE’s G42 to build one of the world’s largest AI data centers in Abu Dhabi, marking its first major project outside the US.

OpenAI said it’s helping to develop a major data center in the United Arab Emirates, a big overseas expansion of its Stargate effort to build out AI infrastructure.

The Stargate UAE project is part of a push by the Gulf petrostate to become a big player in artificial intelligence.
