A Microsoft deal to invest $1.5 billion in AI firm G42 is seen as positive by a White House official for severing ties with Huawei in the UAE. The deal aims to shift G42's focus from Huawei to Microsoft as an alternative, aligning with US efforts to distance from Huawei due to spying concerns. The collaboration involves Microsoft providing cloud services for G42's AI applications, emphasizing security assurances to US and UAE governments. The US is closely monitoring AI system developments and considering export controls on proprietary AI models to prevent their misuse.
