The Commerce Department approved the sale of up to 70,000 advanced artificial-intelligence chips to two companies based in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, a big win for the Middle East nations as they seek to catch up in the AI race.<\/p>\n
The approvals are a reversal from earlier this year, when some administration officials rejected the idea of exporting directly to the state-backed companies over security concerns<\/a>. President Trump<\/a> has been talking to leaders of both countries about chip access since he visited in May, discussions that continued this week with Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. <\/p>\n Copyright \u00a92025 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
