UAE AI Data Center Gets Microsoft's Nvidia Chips
Project delayed by U.S. export controls on Nvidia processors.
Deal between Trump and UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed al-Nahyan for AI data center in Abu Dhabi.
Microsoft has 21k Nvidia GPUs in UAE and licenses for 60k more A100 chips.
Microsoft will invest $15.2B in UAE over four years, $5.5B for AI and train a million residents by 2027.
Critics say deal undermines U.S. export-control diplomacy with back-channels.
Microsoft says chips are for OpenAI, Anthropic, and local benefits.
