UAE Minister of AI, Omar Al Olama, supports Huang's vision and discusses the UAE's efforts in AI development, including creating large language models and mobilizing compute resources.

Dubai's evolution into a key global IT hub aligns with Huang's global tour meeting with various country leaders to discuss AI's role in their economies.

AI is projected to contribute $320 billion to the Middle East economy by 2030, with a focus on smart mobility, sustainable development, and AI technology.

Nvidia announces a partnership with Moro Hub to establish a green data center in the Middle East, underlining the company's commitment to AI democratization through its GPUs.

Huang sidesteps discussions on US restrictions on Nvidia's AI chips but acknowledges compliance efforts with customers in China and the Middle East.
