G42 is building a 5-gigawatt AI complex in the UAE that combines massive compute resources with sovereign data storage. The conversation examines whether this infrastructure is mainly a strategic geopolitical play, and how energy capacity directly shapes AI capability and power.
Power and compute and the ability to genuinely train at scale. Right. So G42, for example, in the UAE, is beginning construction on a 5 gigawatt AI complex, and they're merging, like, hyperscale compute, sovereign data, and obviously taking like, a regional AI autonomy kind of approach.
So is.
This also.
Just.
Infrastructure? Is this more strategic in nature?
No, I think Elon described this like the unit of intelligence. The unit to see, to measure intelligence is like intelligence produced per gigawatts of energy. That's the unit, right? So, I mean, energy is the. As Alexander Wiser Gross is like, it's the most. It's the innermost loop.
