He is not the only AI related entity doing business in the Middle East. Look at G42’s and King Abdullah University’s partnership with Cerebras Systems.

I was not aware that the Arab states were such a Mecca (pun very much intended) for AI, but there must be something there… why pass over any number of American partnerships?

Especially in today’s geopolitical climate.

Why wouldn't they? The Arab world loves science

Because the current AI boom started around 2010-2016, and the time period to which you are referring ended about 800 years earlier.

So they shouldn't be interested anymore because the last time they were was a long time ago?

Would you say something similar about Italy if they were to be interested about AI (no tech, no space, no chip industries), but couldn't because the last time they were interested in mathematics was during the Renaissance period?

I'm the heretic one

Italy is not an AI hub to my knowledge.

I would be very surprised if high profile AI figures and companies started making ties with them.

What are you getting at?
