US Media: OpenAI in Talks with Abu Dhabi Firm to Build Custom ChatGPT for UAE

BlockBeats News, February 7th, according to the American financial media Semafor, informed sources revealed that OpenAI is collaborating with Abu Dhabi-based company G42 to build a custom version of ChatGPT for the UAE, tailored to the local language, political views, and speech restrictions. OpenAI employees disclosed that this customized version is designed specifically for the UAE government. Once completed, it will be one of the first cases of popular chatbot localization, signaling that U.S. tech companies may need to introduce regionalized technical solutions as they advance global AI expansion.
