His Highness added: "AI is a central pillar in our development journey moving forward and developing our digital capabilities creates the ecosystem needed to harness its potential and ensure that every institution in this country, public and private, are empowered to build and innovate with AI, at the scale the coming decade will demand, with absolute confidence in the efficiency of the infrastructure beneath it.” His Highness concluded that the UAE’s ambition extends beyond merely keeping pace with technological transformations.

Jassem Mohamed Bu Ataba Alzaabi, Chairman of etisalat group, said: "This project reflects our conviction that the UAE should not simply adopt AI, but govern it and build with it. That requires digital infrastructure at a scale that would prepare us for the future.” He added: "Moving international connectivity from 20 terabits per second to more than 500 is a strategic step to address the growing challenges facing global data processing and data flow, particularly given the tremendous advancements in AI, and enhances the flexibility and reliability of the infrastructure to meet the requirements of UAE’s AI campuses, global cloud providers, and the group’s operations and customers across its markets. Delivered through diversified routes and low-latency design, the project is set to keep the country’s connection to the global digital economy fast, direct and resilient, while ensuring the UAE’s digital sovereignty.” His Highness stressed the importance of coordinated national efforts and the role of national institutions in advancing the UAE's AI ambitions and digital economy. Picture credit: WAM He concluded: "This is the same commitment that has guided this group for fifty years. We marked that anniversary this week by setting out what the next era asks of us, and this project is our answer. In every generation of technology, etisalat has built the infrastructure the nation depends on, ensuring high flexibility and resiliency across all our markets. AI is the defining technology of this generation, and the principle has not changed.” etisalat group operates across 38 countries and serves more than 250 million subscribers, giving the project reach well beyond the UAE and connecting national infrastructure directly to the global digital ecosystem. The project also supports the UAE’s ambition to become a global hub for advanced technology and AI, reinforcing the nation’s digital competitiveness and enabling public and private institutions to deploy AI at scale with confidence in the infrastructure that carries it.emirates247 · united arab emirates
