Microsoft to launch 'responsible AI' foundation in Abu Dhabi
American tech giant Microsoft said Sunday that it would open a foundation to promote "responsible" artificial intelligence in the United Arab Emirates capital Abu Dhabi. The foundation, in partnership with Emirati AI developer G42 and the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, "aims to promote responsible AI standards and best practices in the Middle East and Global South," Microsoft said ahead of an AI summit in Paris this week. Microsoft said in April 2024 that it would invest $1.5 billion into G42, which is controlled by Tahnoon bin Zayed, brother of the Emirati president and the country's national security advisor. And Emirates leader Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan this week signed a deal with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron to build a vast AI campus and data centre in France worth up to $50 billion.
