The Middle East’s AI Arms Race

CONFLICTED

An ex-Al Qaeda jihadi turned MI6 spy and a former monk turned filmmaker, have been embedded at the heart of conflicts in the Middle East. Together Aimen Dean and Thomas Small unpack the realities of war, fundamentalism and their global implications through first-hand experience.

As the Middle East wakes up to an unnerving new normal following the signing of the M.O.U., Aimen and Thomas turn their attention to something truly cutting edge: the AI Arms Race that is rapidly transforming the Gulf into the front lines of a truly global U.S.-China confrontation.

Aimen and Thomas discuss:

 Iran’s drone attacks on Gulf data centres.

 AI in missile defence and military targeting.

 The physical infrastructure behind cloud computing.

 Cheap Gulf energy and rapid data-centre construction.

 The UAE–Saudi competition for AI leadership.

 Sheikh Tahnoon, G42 and MGX.

 Saudi Arabia’s HUMAIN strategy.

 The US–China global AI rivalry.

 Israel’s cybersecurity and military-AI role.

 Whether AI-generated art can be genuinely creative.
