After GMC successfully launched the Hummer EV Pickup, the company announced new electric trucks and SUVs with multiple customization configurations, including a 3X trim package.

The 3X line of vehicles was initially intended to launch during the fall of 2022, but consumers have had to wait until mid-2023 for a Hummer EV Pickup to arrive with 22-inch wheels and 35-inch all-terrain tires. Meanwhile, the Hummer EV SUV will only become available in 3X trim for the 2024 model.

When released, GMC’s Hummer SUV and pickup will be available in two trims, Edition 1 and 3X.

For the pickup version, the 3X trim version can be equipped with an optional extreme off-road package. Meanwhile, the SUV sees both 3X and Edition 1 vehicles come with the option for an off-road package.

In addition to increased customization, GMC has announced that the new vehicles can travel 355 miles on a single charge. However, this figure will decrease if a customer has specced their vehicle with mud tires, skid plates, and other weighty accessories.

GMC is still keeping quiet about some of the new vehicle specs. Still, we do know that they will feature the same three-motor layout as previous generations, with outputs of a frankly insane 1,000 horsepower and a gargantuan towing capacity of 7,500 to 8,500 pounds.

Despite a rather hefty starting price tag of $80,000, consumer interest is building for GMC’s new electric trucks. Preorders went live in September 2022, with reservations quickly hitting 65,000. Although waiting lists are at full capacity, GMC has more electric vehicles in the pipeline, including the Sierra Denali truck and Chevy Silverado.

ai seal certification now required for dubai gov partnerships

Dubai Media Office

Dubai has introduced the Dubai AI Seal, a certification designed to establish trust in artificial intelligence (AI) companies and solutions. This initiative, directed by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister, aims to create a reliable network of AI providers which government entities and businesses can collaborate confidently.

Companies must now obtain the AI Seal to qualify for UAE or Dubai government contracts. The Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI), which developed the certification, sees it as a competitive edge for companies looking to participate in key national projects. Once certified, businesses will be permitted to showcase the seal across their websites and marketing materials, signaling their credibility and dependability.

The evaluation process will consider six main criteria: the company’s services and operations, the number of employees specializing in AI, ongoing and future projects, as well as existing partnerships with public and private sector entities.

Khalfan Belhoul, CEO of the Dubai Future Foundation, which oversees the DCAI, commented on the initiative’s potential: “This initiative will help create powerful partnerships between the public and private sectors, locally, regionally, and globally. It will help drive new economic opportunities by leveraging AI to serve better the economy, society, and the future we aspire to”.

The Dubai AI Seal’s goals include providing a clear framework for verifying AI providers, fostering business opportunities for AI companies, and acknowledging the industry’s strategic importance to Dubai’s economy. The initiative emphasizes AI’s role in driving economic growth, creating jobs, and strengthening collaboration between government bodies and technology firms.

All technology companies operating in Dubai and offering AI-related services or products are eligible to apply for the certification at no cost through the official website.
