Yes, it is real. If you live in Dubai or at some other place in the United Arab Emirates, you will soon get free access to the premium version of the Popular Chatbot of the Chatp Plus – OpenaiI. This step makes the UAE the first country in the world to offer chatup plus – the cost of which is usually $ 20 (about 1,700 rupees) per month – for its entire population without any cost. The scheme is part of a major agreement between Openai and the UAE government, which is under a program called Openai for Country. This program is not only about free AI tools – a big goal is to help countries in the creation of local AI infrastructure while in line with American rules and global participation.

So, what is the truth behind this? The deal is a big. As part of the partnership, openi and many global technology companies – including Oracle, NVDia, Cisco, SoftBank and G42 – are coming together to create a large -scale AI computing center in Abu Dhabi. It is called Stargate UAE, and the first phase of the project – approximately 200 MW – is expected to be ready by next year. Overall, the facility is planned to reach a gigawatt of computing power, which is very large. Openai CEO, Sam Altman, says that this idea is to spread the benefits of AI – such as better healthcare, cleaner energy and better education – for more people around the world.

Now, what about catch? Honestly, there does not seem to have one – at least, not to the public. If you live in the UAE, you will be able to use Chatgpt Plus for free, whether it is to write, coding, study or simply get answers to everyday questions. This version includes the most advanced equipment and models of Openai. For the general public, this is a win. But the real investment is happening behind the curtain.

According to a report by The New York Times, partnership includes a large financial commitment: for each dollar spent by the UAE on local AI development, the same amount will be invested in the US -based AI Infrastructure. This figure can reach a total of $ 20 billion. Therefore, while people in the UAE have free access to advanced AI, the comprehensive plan is to increase the impact of openi and ensure us align the AI ​​system to become a global standard.

And when the UAE leads the charge, it can just start. Openai says that its main strategy officer, Jason Quon, will visit other Asia Pacific countries to locate similar deals. If things go well, more countries can get access to their languages, cultures and regulations adapted chatgpt and localized AI tools.
