G42, founded by the emirate of Abu Dhabi, said it would utilize OpenAI's generative AI models in areas including financial services, energy, healthcare and public services.
Mubadala-backed G42 has been at the forefront of AI adoption in the UAE.
Abu Dhabi's Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC) also made its Falcom 40B large language model (LLM) open source for research and commercial use in May.
G42 said it would use Microsoft's (MSFT.O) Azure data centers as part of its AI infrastructure to boost regional adoption.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman had visited Abu Dhabi in June as part of his AI "world tour", where he advocated for AI developments to be regulated by international bodies.
