OpenAI has launched a new workspace tool for ChatGPT known as Canvas. The feature, introduced in a recent blog post, is now accessible to ChatGPT Plus and Team subscribers, with Enterprise and Edu users set to gain access next week.

Canvas provides a dedicated virtual space for writing and coding projects, allowing users to collaborate more efficiently with ChatGPT. It opens a separate window next to the chat interface, where users can place writing or code and select specific sections for the model to review. OpenAI describes it as functioning like a “copy editor or code reviewer”.

For writing tasks, ChatGPT can offer suggestions for edits, change text length, or adjust reading levels. It can even add relevant emojis for emphasis and color. Coders benefit from inline recommendations, debugging help, and the ability to translate code into various programming languages such as JavaScript, Python, or C++.

By 2030, etisalat group plans to lift its international connectivity capacity to more than 500 terabits per second (Tbps), more than 25 times the 20 Tbps it has today. The group presented the expansion as preparation for rising AI demand and an important move for the UAE’s digital sovereignty.

His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court, witnessed the launch of the project, which covers the UAE and international markets. Sheikh Mansour is also Chairman of the Emirates Investment Authority, etisalat group’s main shareholder.

He emphasized the role of coordinated national efforts in advancing the UAE’s AI and digital economy ambitions. “AI is a central pillar in our development journey moving forward,” he said, adding that developing the country’s digital capabilities would empower every institution, public and private, to build and innovate with AI “at the scale the coming decade will demand”.

“This project reflects our conviction that the UAE should not simply adopt AI, but govern it and build with it,” said H.E Jassem Mohamed Bu Ataba Alzaabi, Chairman of etisalat group. “That requires digital infrastructure at a scale that would prepare us for the future”. He cast greater international connectivity as a strategic answer to the challenges of processing and moving data globally.

Beyond raw bandwidth, the expansion will introduce new connectivity routes intended to improve reliability and efficiency, and Alzaabi tied them directly to the sovereignty goal. “Delivered through diversified routes and low-latency design, the project is set to keep the country’s connection to the global digital economy fast, direct and resilient, while ensuring the UAE’s digital sovereignty,” he said.

He also linked the plan to the group’s 50-year commitment to building infrastructure for the nation. The announcement didn’t mention what the expansion will cost. Nor did it name the new routes or say who will build them, the details that would show what digital sovereignty means in practice.
