UAE unlocks free ChatGPT plus for every resident

In a global first, the UAE is giving every resident free access to ChatGPT Plus, as part of its “Stargate UAE” AI megaproject with OpenAI. Behind it? Oracle, Nvidia, G42, SoftBank. A one-gigawatt supercomputing cluster is coming to Abu Dhabi, meant to power AI across half the planet.

Not just access - influence. The UAE’s betting on AI to run schools, hospitals, transit, and maybe the future. And while other countries debate AI ethics in committee, the Emirates just deployed it at scale.
