OpenAI signs four agreements in Abu Dhabi, including one with ADNOC and G42 to roll out its technology across the state energy company

No values were disclosed for any of the agreements, signed during a visit by Sam Altman.

ADNOC, G42 and OpenAI signed an agreement in Abu Dhabi on 2 November to deploy OpenAI's technology across the state energy company's operations, Reuters reported. The National reported that ADNOC is the first energy company to deploy OpenAI's Frontier platform, and that G42 signed through its subsidiary Inception42.

CNBC reported three more agreements announced the same day: Mubadala, Inception42 and OpenAI will apply AI to investment analysis; the Abu Dhabi government will work with OpenAI to turn its policies into machine-readable form; and Inception42 and OpenAI signed a five-year agreement covering government, business and education.

CNBC gave no dollar value for any of the four. “Abu Dhabi and the UAE are setting a bold, global standard for AI integration across both the public and private sectors to make sure the benefits of AI reach everyone,” Altman said, according to The National.
