WASHINGTON (AP) — Microsoft has announced it will ship Nvidia’s advanced AI chips to the United Arab Emirates. The U.S. Commerce Department approved the deal in September. The company plans to send over 60,000 Nvidia chips, including the advanced GB300 Grace Blackwell chips, for use in UAE data centers. This move seems to contradict former President Donald Trump’s recent comments about restricting exports of advanced chips. The UAE’s access to these chips is linked to its pledge to invest $1.4 trillion in U.S. energy and AI projects. Microsoft’s announcement is part of its $15.2 billion investment in UAE technology.
