HELLO CREATORS,
In a bold global first, the United Arab Emirates is giving every resident free access to ChatGPT Plus — OpenAI’s premium AI assistant.
This isn’t just about free upgrades. It’s part of a sweeping, state-backed initiative to put AI directly into the hands of citizens — and reshape how nations work with AI at scale.
What’s Actually Happening:
- Every UAE resident gets ChatGPT Plus, free.
- It’s part of a new strategic alliance between OpenAI and the UAE government under the “OpenAI for Countries” program.
- This is more than access — it’s about building localized, culturally aligned AI systems with support for language, values, and governance models.
Backed by Massive Infrastructure
The partnership includes Stargate UAE, a 1-gigawatt AI supercomputing hub being built in Abu Dhabi.
Target: 200MW online by 2026.
Backing comes from a stacked list of global players: Microsoft, Oracle, Nvidia, Cisco, SoftBank, and G42 (the UAE-based AI powerhouse).
Why It Matters
This move positions the UAE not just as an AI customer — but as a builder of AI infrastructure, tools, and policy at a national level.
It’s a model for how countries might democratize AI access while retaining local control over how it’s used and developed.
Sam Altman called it a “bold vision.” And it is.
