Abu Dhabi’s G42 in talks to sell majority stake to US firms for chip access
AI take
This signals a potential structural shift in how Gulf AI players secure strategic hardware, with equity ceding to Washington's export regime as the price of access. If a deal materializes, it could set a precedent for other non-US AI firms navigating chip scarcity, effectively tying ownership to supply-chain security. The open question is whether US regulators will accept a controlling stake as sufficient compliance, or demand deeper operational concessions, which would reshape the regional AI landscape.
