UAE AI firm G42 teams up with NVIDIA to develop climate technology

UAE-based artificial intelligence company G42 has teamed up with US chipmaker Nvidia to develop climate technology, the company said on Friday.

The Gulf-based company said in a statement that the two firms will work together to develop AI solutions aimed at improving the accuracy of global weather forecasts and will establish a base of operations and a climate technology lab in Abu Dhabi. The UAE, led by government-backed G42, is investing heavily in AI to help diversify its economy away from oil, and UAE companies have recently struck several deals with U.S. firms.
