Source: The NationalAlso reported by Bloomberg Government

The US Commerce Department authorised exports of advanced NVIDIA chips to the UAE’s G42 and Saudi Arabia’s HUMAIN, each allowed the equivalent of up to 35,000 Blackwell GB300 chips. Both companies must meet security and reporting requirements. G42 chief executive Peng Xiao said the company would match what it builds in the UAE with investment in the US.

Why it matters

The licences let the Gulf’s two state-backed AI companies start filling the data centres announced in May 2025 with US chips, under conditions set by Washington.
