Stanford and Saudi scientists launch six-year collaboration on aerospace research
New fuels, flight designs, safety techniques, space missions and supporting technologies are expected from the Stanford Center of Excellence in Aeronautics and Astronautics.engineering.stanford.edu
There’s a key distinction between laying down roots and simply being a high-tech pit stop. The UAE might build impressive facilities and launch institutes, but without the deep bench of homegrown talent and technical expertise, it’s unlikely to become a true leader in AI. At best, it will serve as a marginal host for the real players, those chasing lucrative energy-backed AI workloads while the cutting edge innovation happens elsewhere.There is a difference between simply collaborating & establishing my own labs in the UAE, along with an institute for full multi sector collaboration covering a wide range instead of a narrow focus.
If this indicates anything, it shows that the decision was made with a forward looking perspective, forecasting the UAE’s position in AI and other sectors in the coming years.

The glossy list of UAE initiatives looks ambitious, and yes, appointing a minister and launching MBZUAI were headline-worthy moves. But let’s not confuse infrastructure with ecosystem, or optics with actual depth. A true AI powerhouse isn’t built on early PR wins or imported expertise, it’s built on sustained contributions to foundational research, organic talent pipelines, homegrown IP, and trusted, scalable innovation ecosystems.Well let’s see ,
There’s a key distinction between being a host and building a true AI ecosystem and the UAE has made it clear it’s aiming for the latter, Suggesting the country lacks the foundation to lead in AI ignores the bold and strategic steps already in motion.
This is the first country in the world to appoint a Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence in 2017 it was UAE, signaling long term commitment to AI leadership.

The UAE isn’t playing catch up it’s building long term capacity, From deploying AI across government to advancing deep tech R&D, the country is not merely hosting innovation it’s actively shaping it.
If anything, what we’re witnessing is not a pit stop but the rise of a regional AI powerhouse laying down serious roots and growing fast.

While the UAE has been busy hosting, Saudi Arabia has been building. From launching its own large language models like ALLaM, developed in Arabic, by Arabs, for Arabic NLP to establishing KAUST as a deep-tech research powerhouse, Saudi is investing not just in facilities, but in sovereign AI capacity. It’s not just importing talent, it’s cultivating it at scale. And it’s backing that with a national strategy that doesn’t stop at labs, but stretches across energy, security, language, and industrial AI.
Sure, MBZUAI and TII are promising. But their research output, local talent development, and global influence don’t yet rival what’s coming out of institutions like KAUST, or even the scale of investment and ambition behind Saudi’s Alat and PIF-backed AI ventures. And let’s not forget, the true AI players aren’t measuring success by conferences and partnerships. They’re training sovereign models, defining global benchmarks, and anchoring AI governance. That’s where the game is headed.
At best, the UAE might become a well-funded host for global AI workloads, rented talent, rented compute, rented prestige. But the strategic value? That stays with the owners.
And that's a mistake we’re not planning to stumble upon

The UAE was the first in the region to develop an Arabic-focused AI LLM with the Jais project in 2023 by G42 and MBZUAI. It later introduced Falcon and Falcon Mamba, developed by TII, which weren’t Arabic-focused but were much larger in scale. Falcon Mamba was a major milestone as a government-developed SSLM, placing the UAE in a rare category globallyYou can read the earlier attached HAI report which includes citations, or search each point individually
This doesn’t mean the UAE is competing with tech giants, but the early and significant steps it has taken in AI can’t be ignored. The country also ranks among the top three globally for attracting AI talent, showing it’s not just building models, but building an ecosystem
With all these moves, initiatives, and real projects, it’s clear this isn’t a PR stunt
You can read the earlier attached HAI report which also includes citations or you can search each information separately
As i mentioned earlier, conduct research methods perhaps it will help you a little bit!

Falcon 180B
.Let’s clear something up: being first to announce a model doesn’t mean you’re leading anything
Jais was a decent PR win, but let’s not overhype a model trained with foreign infrastructure and external partners, especially when its Arabic performance wasn’t even state-of-the-art for long. Falcon and Falcon Mamba? Impressive in size, sure. But size without real-world deployment, open evaluations, or sovereign control over data and compute just means you're burning money for attention. That’s not AI.
.leadership—that’s high-budget benchmarking
Top 3 in attracting AI talent” sounds great, until you realize that attracting talent isn’t the same as producing it or retaining it. The UAE has essentially become an AI co-working space, gleaming buildings, visiting researchers, and a revolving door of consultants. It’s a polished platform for others to build on, not a sovereign ecosystem
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia’s not just training models, it’s deploying them at scale, in Arabic, by Saudis, for real national use cases. The ALLaM model isn’t a flashy demo, it’s part of a coordinated strategy to own the full AI stack: from compute, to frameworks, to data governance. Saudi isn’t chasing applause, it’s building leverage
So no, this isn’t about denying the UAE’s moves. It’s about recognizing that real power in AI doesn’t come from being first to publish a PDF or launch a lab. It comes from controlling the engine under the hood. And that’s exactly where Saudi is pulling ahead
Let’s be clear: calling it a PR stunt is more of a denial than a factual assessment
Jais, Falcon, and Falcon Mamba were produced and developed by local institutions: G42, TII, and MBZUAI. All of them are state-owned UAE entities, not external collaborators
Second, ALLaM itself is a fine-tuned version of Meta’s LLaMA model, not a fully developed model built from scratch like Jais and Falcon, which are both larger in scale and more complex. Falcon Mamba, in particular, is based on a locally developed architecture (SSLM), not an external tool provided by a major tech company
Therefore, the sovereignty narrative is neither accurate nor factually correct unless backed by credible sources
Regarding talent acquisition, one cannot ignore the role of universities and academia in the UAE. These are state-owned institutions that educate and graduate students every year. You can’t dismiss academia as irrelevant and then simultaneously question whether it plays a role. The contradiction is clear
Lastly, SSLM are still globally rare, and Falcon Mamba represents a major milestone for the UAE to be among the few countries developing this kind of model
Sources are there to verify information not to argue opinions
Calling ALLaM just a “fine-tuned LLaMA” ignores its deep Arabic focus and real linguistic complexity, something Falcon, despite its size, can’t match
Falcon and Jais may have flashy names, but they heavily rely on foreign tech, infrastructure, and partnerships. Sovereignty isn’t just state ownership on paper, it’s true control of data, talent, and tech
Yes, UAE has universities, but producing degrees isn’t the same as building a sustainable AI ecosystem. The UAE still imports most top-tier AI talent
.SSLMs are rare, but Falcon Mamba’s rarity doesn’t erase its dependence on borrowed code and rented data centers
.Facts matter, hype doesn’t. On real AI sovereignty, ALLaM and Saudi’s approach leave Falcon in the dust
