Technology policy experts at a Middle East Institute panel in Washington stated that rising tensions with Iran, including attacks on data centres, will not derail the UAE and other Gulf states' long-term AI ambitions. The discussion, called "AI, the Gulf and the US," covered the impact of Iranian retaliatory strikes on Gulf infrastructure but concluded that major companies remain committed to investing in the region's AI sector despite security concerns.
