G42 to purchase Nvidia\u2019s AI chips: <\/strong>UAE tech giant G42 has started receiving AI chips from US chipmaker Nvidia after the US government approved the sale earlier this year without making the transaction public, Semafor<\/a> reports, citing people familiar with the matter. This includes Nvidia\u2019s H100 chips, a graphics processing unit (GPU) chip which \u201cdelivers exceptional performance, scalability, and security,\u201d according to the chipmaker<\/a>. <\/p>\n

G42 has begun deploying the AI chips at its data centers<\/strong>, after removing China-made hardware from the centers, making \u201clong-term investments\u201d to ensure data protection, and using hardware solely manufactured by Western nations, which has swayed US officials to accept the transaction, according to Semafor\u2019s sources. <\/p>\n

US defense tech is being used to lock down G42\u2019s data centers:<\/strong> The data centers are equipped with military-grade encryption and are isolated from other systems, including security cameras and cooling, to prevent potential attacks. Additionally, G42 has reportedly tapped US defense department contractors to test and secure its data centers against potential breaches, particularly by China, according to the news platform. <\/p>\n

Background: <\/strong>G42 secured a USD 1.5 bn<\/a> investment from Microsoft that should see the firm receiving large-scale AI components, including the Nvidia chips<\/a>, alongside the two partnering<\/a> on AI investments abroad. Concerns that the US might pull the plug on the partnership have been swirling for a few months, with reports that Pentagon officials are doubting G42\u2019s commitment to fully divest from China<\/a>, despite reports that it has already sold<\/a> all its stake in China.<\/p>\n

The UAE isn\u2019t the first GCC nation to secure Nvidia\u2019s chips<\/strong>, with Qatar\u2019s telco Ooredoo recently purchasing thousands<\/a> of Nvidia\u2019s AI GPUs as part of its GPU-as-a-service offering. A year ago, Saudi Arabia also acquired<\/a> some 3k H100 chips in a transaction worth USD 120 mn, and could also gain access<\/a> to Nvidia\u2019s H200 chips next year as the US government mulls greenlighting the move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
