Abu Dhabi exploring joint AI lab with US research institutions to test quantum computing on water and power problems

Abu Dhabi is deepening its US energy-tech ties. The Department of Energy (DoE) signed a series of MoUs with US regulatory and academic partners covering electricity and water regulation, network modernization, AI, and advanced technologies, according to an Abu Dhabi Media Office statement. It also explored setting up an AI-powered laboratory with international research institutions to test energy and water solutions, including quantum computing, forecasting, and resource management.
