AEThe UAE and the United States have established a joint task force called Task Force Talon Synapse to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence tools for military use. Based in Abu Dhabi, the task force will include around 20 U.S. and Emirati experts specializing in AI, data, and cybersecurity. The initiative was proposed by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed, Deputy Ruler of Abu Dhabi and National Security Adviser, and discussions began after a U.S. delegation visited the region. The UAE has been actively promoting itself as a regional leader in AI, having established a dedicated university for the field and appointed an AI minister. The collaboration follows the UAE's successful acquisition of Nvidia microchips crucial for AI development and increased defense cooperation with the U.S., including improved export status and significant bilateral trade.
