OpenAI, the maker of popular artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT, and Dubai-based technology holding group G42 announced a new partnership on Oct. 18 to expand AI capabilities in the Middle East region.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two companies plan to leverage OpenAI\u2019s generative AI models in sectors of G42\u2019s expertise, including financial services, energy, healthcare and public services. <\/p>\n
G42 said that organizations in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and other regions using its business solutions should now have a more simplified process of integrating advanced AI capabilities into existing businesses.<\/p>\n
