G42

An artificial intelligence company from the UAE known as G42 is working on several ChatGPT-powered platforms. The organization’s CEO Peng Xiao announced during a recent press conference that they were “working on the largest Arabic-language model” and noted that although “Arabic is a major body of language in the world, it is not served at all by the big players in the industry”.

G42 has also begun work on GovGPT, a chat service that will help find answers to government-related search queries, and ClimateGPT, a tool to “help the population be more engaged and participate in the climate programs we’re championing”.

Although Xiao didn’t reveal an exact date for the release of the new ChatGPT platforms, he did address AI’s potential impact and future regulation.

“The way to better regulate it is not to say ‘stop, don’t do anything, let’s figure this out’. The way to do this is to do more sandboxes, more cutting-edge experiments, with transparency, like we’re about to do with Toto Wolff’s F1 team, and involve regulators and governments to see what we are doing”.

Founded in Abu Dhabi, G42 has a global footprint and a team of 2,700 AI experts who provide solutions for molecular medicine, space travel, and more. The company recently made headlines when it partnered with Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 to provide data and insights to improve the team’s performance.
