The UAE has shown it can “guarantee the safety and the security” of chips “if and when they are being deployed and used here,” Peng Xiao, CEO of UAE AI firm G42, told CNBC at a conference in Dubai on Tuesday.
“I cannot read the mind of the U.S. policymakers, but in many ways, I understand their position,” Xiao told CNBC.
“At the same time from our side, we've shown from the UAE side how transparent we are and how we can guarantee the safety and the security of this technology,” he added.
The United States has previously warned over G42's ties to China and its work with companies in Beijing, which Washington considers a possible security threat.
In February, the group sold its stake in Chinese companies including Bytedance in a bid to reassure American partners.
