G42 Explores Chip Diversification Beyond Nvidia for AI Campus
Abu Dhabi's G42 is actively seeking to mitigate supply chain risks by engaging with AMD, Qualcomm, and Cerebras Systems for its UAE-US AI campus, signaling a strategic shift from heavy reliance on Nvidia. The MOVE reflects growing industry concerns over semiconductor concentration and follows Microsoft's $1.5 billion investment in G42 to bolster AI and cloud collaborations.
Major tech players including Google, Microsoft, AWS, and Meta are in advanced discussions to participate in the AI hub, with Google reportedly leading negotiations. The campus forms part of the UAE's broader ambition to establish itself as a global technology leader, leveraging diversified hardware partnerships to future-proof its infrastructure.
