G42 Teams With Microsoft To Boost UAE Cloud Infrastructure
The collaboration will also focus on AI solutions for the health, life science, energy, and sustainability sectors.
Abu Dhabi-based AI and cloud computing company G42 and US tech powerhouse Microsoft have announced the next phase of their strategic partnership to overhaul and expand cloud and technology infrastructure across the United Arab Emirates.
G42 will deliver advanced AI solutions, while Microsoft will help to expand existing data center infrastructure and Azure cloud services in the Emirates, according to an announcement made on Monday.
“This strategic collaboration with Microsoft is not just about technology […] it’s about creating a holistic ecosystem for societal resilience and growth,” explained Peng Xiao, group chief executive of G42.
“By combining our respective expertise and shared forward-thinking approach, we aim to not only transform industries but also create positive economic opportunities and lasting impacts on the well-being of individuals, communities, and society as a whole,” Mr Xiao continued.
The two companies will also focus on bringing AI solutions to various sectors, including health, life sciences, energy, sustainability, and other projects of national significance, such as the Cop28 climate summit to be held in Dubai later this year.
According to a study released last October, Microsoft expects its portfolio of cloud services to add over $39 billion to the UAE economy over the next four years, along with the creation of 100,000 jobs.

The UAE also recently approved the formation of a Higher Committee for Government Digital Transformation as the country races to develop a strong and tech-first digital economy.

Samsung Galaxy Ring Wearable Will Launch In Eight Sizes
A recent Korean report reveals the model numbers of the new health tracking device, as well as details of its key features.
The global launch of the Samsung Galaxy Ring is hotly anticipated, with details about the next-gen wearable gradually emerging since the company’s teaser announcement back in January. Now, a report has also unveiled the model numbers for the device, suggesting it will be available in eight different sizes.
While Samsung has yet to divulge detailed specs and features of the Galaxy Ring, it’s likely to feature an array of health and sleep monitoring functionalities, while boasting a battery life of up to nine days on a single charge.
As per a Galaxy Club report, there are currently eight confirmed variants of the Galaxy Ring: SM-Q500, SM-Q501, SM-Q502, SM-Q505, SM-Q506, SM-Q507, SM-Q508, and SM-Q509.
However, the mystery shrouding two absent model numbers persists, leaving speculation as to whether they signify additional sizes or if Samsung plans to unveil a later ninth variant of the ring, as previously hinted. There’s conjecture that these models may correspond to US ring sizes 5 and above, commencing with the SMQ500, with subsequent numbers potentially indicating larger ring sizes, possibly reaching up to size 13, aligning with model number SM-Q509.

Samsung is banking on the user-friendly interface and high durability of the ring to redefine the healthcare wearables landscape. Meanwhile, Apple is also making strides in the development of a smart ring, aimed at monitoring users’ health biometrics discreetly when worn on the finger.
