From fabricated legal cases to boardroom decisions made on false data, the financial fallout from AI hallucinations is mounting. What enterprise leaders must do to protect their AI investments.

In 120 days and across more than 1,000 candidates, Presight and Shorooq have assembled a portfolio designed to connect frontier AI with the regulated, resource-rich markets of the Gulf, MENA, and South Asia.

New global research from Fortinet finds that AI-driven attacks have done what years of internal comms could not — but only 40% of organisations say their employees are truly prepared to face them.

Backed by Lion X Ventures and regional investors, Dyna.Ai plans to scale its Results-as-a-Service platform across Asia, the Americas, and the Middle East.

With Autonomous Workforce and the Moveworks integration now live, ServiceNow is positioning itself as the platform where AI stops advising and starts acting inside mission-critical systems.

A Dataiku/Harris Poll survey of 800+ enterprise CIOs finds careers, budgets, and company survival are now tied to measurable AI outcomes — with the UAE, Europe, and high-growth markets facing the sharpest pressure.

New sovereign cloud updates let governments and high-security organisations run large AI models, productivity tools, and full infrastructure with zero internet connectivity. Here's why it matters.

Abu Dhabi's Technology Innovation Institute (TII) has launched a cloud service giving partners access to quantum processors it designed and fabricated in-house, putting the Gulf state in rare company globally.

Anthropic's Claude Code Security found over 500 real vulnerabilities that expert humans missed for decades. The market noticed — and punished an entire industry in a single session.

Unveiled at the AI Impact Summit 2026, the exaflop-scale system delivered by G42 and Cerebras will anchor India’s sovereign AI infrastructure while reinforcing growing UAE–India technology cooperation.

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII) has successfully launched the UAE’s first domestically developed hybrid rocket, reaching 3km altitude and validating a fully homegrown propulsion system. The milestone marks a significant step toward sovereign launch capability and indigenous aerospace engineering.

Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence has secured $1 million from Google.org to address one of AI’s structural blind spots: the underrepresentation of Arabic dialects and low-resource languages in large language models. The initiative, led by Professor Thamar Solorio, aims to build more inclusive, computationally efficient AI systems tailored to the sociolinguistic realities of the MENA region.

$700 million data centres, AI-managed hyperscale facilities and enterprise margin gains signal a new phase. The Gulf is no longer building AI capacity. It is being judged on economic absorption.

As export controls tighten and GPU supply concentrates, Malaysia is investing in domestic compute. The Sarawak AI facility raises deeper questions about capital risk, utilisation, and regional power.

A new study by Boston Consulting Group finds that 42% of UAE organisations now qualify as AI Leaders, with 37% scaling enterprise-wide deployment, but the real test lies in whether investment translates into sustained economic advantage.

From Europe to India to the Gulf, governments are forcing AI systems back inside legal borders. Data localisation is no longer a compliance detail — it is rewriting cloud strategy, AI architecture, and who controls intelligence.

At Abu Dhabi’s Technology Innovation Institute, researchers are working on membranes, soil additives, and brine recovery — not to chase breakthroughs, but to fix what desalination systems quietly ignore.

Banks spent years piloting AI without forcing it into day-to-day operations. New research across Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East shows why that era ended — and why revenue now depends on accountability, not ambition.

Spending on data centres and servers is set to rise sharply next year as cloud providers and governments expand capacity for artificial intelligence, while growth in devices and enterprise software slows.

Riverbed’s Global Survey: The Future of IT Operations in the AI Era finds strong AIOps returns in financial services, but limited enterprise-wide AI deployment.
