The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday morning that the United States granted the United Arab Emirates expanded access to advanced AI chips, describing the move as a reward for Abu Dhabi's military role during the ongoing US-Iran conflict. According to the report, the UAE conducted airstrikes against Iran, intercepted hundreds of missiles and drones, and provided essential support to US forces. The expanded chip access deepens the existing US-UAE AI cooperation agreement for security purposes, the report said. The development comes amid the wider US-led military campaign against Iran, which has included multiple rounds of CENTCOM strikes and the use of AI in targeting, as previously reported by The Zioneer. The WSJ report did not specify the exact chips or the scope of the expanded access.
