The United Arab Emirates’ AI Ambitions
The United Arab Emirates is placing enormous bets on artificial intelligence to diversify its economy and become the world’s next technological hub. As the United States develops its strategy for global AI leadership, the UAE presents a critical test case for engaging with technologically ambitious countries seeking to balance relations with both the United States and China.

Artificial IntelligenceAs artificial intelligence (AI) changes how people around the world live and work, new frontiers for international collaboration, competition, and conflict are opening. AI can, for example, improve (or detract) from international cyber stability, optimize (or bias) cloud-based services, or guide the targeting of biotechnology toward great discoveries (or terrible abuses). Carnegie partners with governments, industry, academia, and civil society to anticipate and mitigate the international security challenges from AI. By confronting both the short-term (2-5 years) and medium-term (5-10 years) challenges, we hope to mitigate the most urgent risks of AI while laying the groundwork for addressing its slower and subtler effects.
The World According to Generative Artificial IntelligenceLarge language models are transforming how humans acquire and interpret information, raising pressing ethical concerns. To mitigate the related risks, policymakers should promote digital AI literacy and develop tools to understand the inherent biases of generative AI tools.
