Came across a post from the Abu Dhabi Media Office: Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled met with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and witnessed the signing of four partnerships covering government, energy, and investment.

Key details: ADNOC, G42 subsidiary Inception42, and OpenAI signed an agreement. ADNOC says it is the first company in the energy industry to deploy OpenAI’s frontier models, with inference running on infrastructure within the UAE; the Abu Dhabi government is promoting a “machine-readable government,” converting policies and regulations into AI-readable formats, with a food import pilot already underway at ADAFSA; Mubadala, Inception42, and OpenAI will use AI for investment analysis and risk assessment; Inception42 also signed a five-year agreement covering the deployment of frontier AI across government, enterprise, and education.

Sovereign energy and sovereign wealth funds embedding large models into business workflows is a more concrete step than just talking about becoming an AI hub.
