Gulf Data Centers Persist Amid War Risks
The Gulf Arab countries, particularly Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, continue to implement massive projects to build artificial intelligence data centers despite the risks posed by the US war against Iran. The UAE is working on establishing a large AI complex in Abu Dhabi with targeted computing capacity reaching up to 5 gigawatts, while Saudi Arabia aims to raise $2.5 billion to invest in data centers with capacities exceeding 6 gigawatts. These projects are proceeding according to plans despite regional tensions. These initiatives are pushing the region to diversify sources of growth away from oil, heavily relying on international partners such as OpenAI, Microsoft, and NVIDIA, despite rising costs and security risks. They are among the most prominent policies to develop the technological infrastructure in the Middle East.
